Goya masterpiece found in India

The priceless painting was recovered during a police search for firearms in real estate broker Majeed Sultan Khan’s home.

The agent claimed the painting, which belongs to the master’s original 19th century canvas Saturn Devouring His Son, was a gift from a developer friend who owed him.

The police suspect that the masterpiece may have been stolen, as the owner has not declared any purchasing documents for keeping it in his possession.

They seized the celebrated work and sent it to the archaeological division to verify its authenticity.

Experts, however, announced that they have not found any report saying that the painting was missing or stolen from Spain.

“We are not sure about its genuineness,” said senior police inspector of Oshiwara police station Dilip Rupawate.

“However, Khan has claimed that it is a Goya original. We are waiting for the archaeological department’s report to proceed in the case,”

Francisco Goya (March 30, 1746 – April 16, 1828), known as the Father of Modern Art, began his painting career just after the late Baroque period.
