It’s incredible to think what those paintings might have cost back then. In the late 1940s and 50s, works by Renoir or Van Gogh could be acquired for the price of a modest home or even less. Van Gogh’s pieces, now worth tens of millions, sold for a few thousand dollars at the time. It really was like buying Bitcoin before anyone believed in it. Your great-grandmother wasn’t just collecting art, she was safeguarding culture before the world realized its worth. That kind of vision is rare and timeless. 💛💛💛
