I am not a buyer or seller on catawiki. I have an oil on canvas of a Madonna and Child about which I sent an inquiry to 2 very reputable World renowned Auction Houses . I included Photos. Unfortunetly it was not valuable enough for them to be interested. So I decided I would bring it to a local auction house to see if they would be interested in selling it for me. However then Lockdown because of Covid, stopped me. So I decided I would wait until things opened up again. I put my painting away. I looked up some images on Google to see if I could get any information or comparable images so I could learn a little about it's style or when it may have been painted. But there was nothing similar. That was about 2 years ago. Last night I again looked on the internet. To my surprise there was a painting being auctioned which had the EXACT same composition and the Madonna and child were posed in exactly the same position as in my painting. It is unusual because the infant has his arm around the shoulder of the Madonna and the other on her chest. Even the Rainbow in the background was painted there which was another unusual feature, convincing me this was a FAKE of MY painting! Except it was not the same painting! Someone had repainted over their features, their Halos, some of their robes, the Rainbow.....and it was awful! Almost like a child had done it! A complete fake! Their faces were now pale white and ugly ( the Madonna looked as though she had a beard) as opposed to them looking serene and looking lovingly towards each other. The auction site is LOT- ART. Lot number 38586263 and is UNSOLD. Posted on 06 Jul 2020 Estimate e275 - e350 (euro) Location UK Catalogue - Religious Objects Auction House - Catawiki Description - A Beautiful " Holy Madonna and Infant Jesus " dating to 19th XIX Century. Oil on Canvas. Old Master Italian School. I think my real one is possibly Romanian from looking at other examples but until I bring it to a real Auction House this is just a guess on my part. I simply want to warn anyone looking to buy this from Catawiki that it is a complete FAKE, as they may improve the overpainting and put it up for sale again. ( I had to log in with them to see price and name of Auction House.) I searched Oil on canvas Madonna and Child on Google, to discover it. My question is HOW DID THEY GET THE IMAGE? Did they hack my phone? My laptop? Or did they get it from one of the two world famous Auction Houses? I have never posted the image publicly or sent it to anyone besides the Auction Houses. And until last night I had never heard of Catawiki. So any ideas anyone? Thanks!
