A painting found stashed inside a wall at an Italian museum has been confirmed as the stolen "Portrait of a Lady" by Austria's Gustav Klimt, prosecutors said on Friday, two decades after it went missing. "It is with no small emotion that I can tell you the work is authentic," Prosecutor Ornella Chicca told reporters, referring to the painting discovered last month by gardeners inside an external wall at the Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art in Piacenza.

意大利檢方周五表示,一幅被發(fā)現(xiàn)藏在意大利一家博物館墻壁內(nèi)的油畫,已被證實(shí)是奧地利畫家古斯塔夫•克里姆特的一幅失竊畫像。也就是在這幅畫失蹤的20年之后它被找回。檢察官奧內(nèi)拉·奇卡對(duì)記者說,我可以非常激動(dòng)地告訴你們,這幅畫是真的。他指的是上個(gè)月園丁在皮亞琴察的里奇·奧迪現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)畫廊的外墻內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的這幅畫。

Museum officials had initially said they could not immediately determine whether the painting was indeed the stolen Klimt until scientific tests were performed. Painted in 1916-1917, the Expressionist work depicts the face and torso of a young woman with brown hair, over an emerald green background.

博物館官員最初表示,在進(jìn)行科學(xué)測試之前,他們不能馬上確定這幅畫是否確實(shí)是被盜的克里姆特的作品。這幅表現(xiàn)主義作品創(chuàng)作于1916年至1917年,描繪了一位棕色頭發(fā)的年輕女性的面部和軀干,背景為翠綠色。

The painting -- which the museum estimated could be worth between 60 and 100 million euros (USD 67-111 million) -- went missing in February 1997 while the museum was closed for work. In December, gardeners removing ivy from a wall found a small ventilation space inside of which they discovered the painting, without a frame, wrapped in a black garbage bag.

據(jù)該博物館估計(jì),這幅畫的價(jià)值在6000萬到1億歐元(約合6700萬到1.11億美元)之間。1997年2月,這幅畫在博物館閉館期間失蹤。去年12月,園丁們?cè)诓鸪龎ι系某4禾贂r(shí),找到了一個(gè)小小的通風(fēng)空間,在里面發(fā)現(xiàn)了這幅沒有畫框的畫,它被包裹在一個(gè)黑色的垃圾袋里。

The ivy covering the space had not been cut back for almost a decade. In 1996 it was determined through X-ray analysis that the painting covered up another, that of the face of a different woman. (AFP) RUP
