A fortune behind the door

According to the news this morning, two lost Renaissance masterpieces were found behind a British librarian's bedroom door. (She died in July - I knew you were wondering who was looking behind her bedroom door and why.) They are expected to sell for $1.9 million at auction.

No wonder fantasy stays alive. These are works by Fra Angelico, painted for his home church and commissioned by none other than the greatest art patrons ever - the de Medici family.

All I find behind my doors are dust bunnies.
