Home decorating with lost masterpieces

Last year, two missing altarpieces by Fra Angelico were discovered in Oxford. You’d think they’d have been tucked away in a forgotten treasure room at the Bodleian or something, but no, they were hanging behind the guest bedroom door in a local woman’s house. If only she’d gone to the Antiques Roadshow!

The paintings are due to be auctioned April 19, so if you have a spare $2 million and space on your guest bedroom wall, go for it.
