El País reported today that a triptych by Ambrosius Benson, Lamentación de Cristo (Christ’s Lament), which was stolen from the Santa Cruz de Nájera (La Rioja) Church in 1913, has sold for 1.46€ in a Sotheby’s auction in London. Unfortunately, and even though the piece was stolen, successive sales of the piece have made its current sale legal. More at El País, but you have to habla Spanish, because we’re not translating the whole damn article for you!
