Despite Rembrandt’s death centuries ago, he is still regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time. A masterwork that was believed to be gone reappeared in 2021 after it fell off a wall. The painting was finished in 1632 and was owned by a family in Rome, Italy.

The family submitted “The Adoration of the Magi” to an art restorer to be fixed after it unintentionally fell from the wall. The restorer found it to be a genuine Rembrandt picture there, and she thought it was “beautiful.” Shortly after its discovery, “The Adoration of the Magi” was appraised at $33.25 million.
