This 'Finding of Moses' painting is undeniably inspirational. A beautiful 19th century Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema painting, this artistic piece of work was sold November 4, 2010 to an unknown bidder for a lavish $35,922,500!
The painting had an original pre-estimated selling price of $3 million to $5 million, so it's no doubt why the $35 million price tag has shocked and awed many in the art world. The 'Finding of Moses' will mark a new world record for the coveted artist, as his last painting only sold for $2.8 million.
