Bulgaria- Found Titian Painting May be Fake

Dear Editor

Very Interesting story !

But I don't think it ["Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac" painting recently found in Bulgaria] is painted by Titian Vecellio.

His version (designed and composed by Vasari) is painted in 1544 and has a "miniature" self-portrait of Titian Vecellio hidden in Abrahams red rope. This selfportrait was discovered by GLAR in 2004, see www.glar.gl/isak.htm during a huge photoresearch on Titian's paintings together with two Australian partners.

If you have further informations about the stolen painting please let me know, I didn't know there was a Cypriot version of "The Sacrifice of Isaac".

Sincerely

*An Italian Renaissance painting stolen a year ago in Cyprus, possibly a Titian, has been recovered in Bulgaria in a police raid.

"Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac," thought to be by the Renaissance master or his Venetian school, was taken from a Cypriot art collector's home in Nicosia in May 2003. It was found in a house in the Bulgarian city Stara Zagora.

It is badly damaged mainly due to poor preservation and being kept folded and has been torn.
