The commune of Mas-d'Agenais in the Lot-et-Garonne has just recovered its treasure, the painting Christ on the Cross by Rembrandt, which had been removed for security reasons. This valuable work, whose history is closely linked to the small town in southwestern France, has long been on display to visitors without high security measures. Yet it is estimated to be worth 90 million euros! After six years in the cathedral of Saint-André in Bordeaux, it recently took the road to Mas-d'Agenais incognito to join the Romanesque collegiate church... this time with an armored window, surveillance cameras and alarms everywhere! The commune has no intention of selling it, just of continuing to amaze visitors who stop in this charming commune. More information on the website of the commune of Mas-d'Agenais
