@Fr_VanNyverseel It is a very beautiful city to visit; founded by the Romans in 16 BC, it has preserved many reminders of that era, including the magnificent Porta Nigra. The rich museums and the cathedral are also well worth a visit.

The Louvre Museum in Paris has just acquired a very rare icon by the Cretan master Andreas Pavias (1440 – c. 1504/1512).
It depicts Saint Helena (c. 248/250 – 330), wife of the Roman Emperor Constantius I and mother of the great Emperor Constantine I, who put an end to the persecution of Christians and founded Constantinople.
This acquisition can be described as a miraculous stroke of luck. Indeed, this painted wooden panel, measuring 52 x 30.5 cm, whose true value no one had realised, was included in an estate auction in Paris. It had been valued at a few dozen euros...
So, by a miraculous stroke of luck, the head of the Louvre’s Byzantine Art Department visited the collection the before the auction and noticed the icon.
He informed the family of his hunch and convinced them to have the work appraised by the Centre de Restauration des Musées de France, which confirmed his intuition.
It was indeed a genuine treasure: only seven other icons by Andreas Pavias have survived to the present day.
It is not known how much the Louvre paid during the private sale that followed with the family.
The work depicts Saint Helena on a pilgrimage to Golgotha, where, according to Christian tradition, she is said to have found the Cross of Christ. As a sign of humility, the Empress’s crown lies at her feet.
