paris internationale debut milan edition spring 2026 1234758373

Paris Internationale, the emerging art fair known for hosting independent galleries, announced it will launch a Milan edition in April 2026, just before its 11th edition opened in Paris.

A painting in a private UK collection, long considered a workshop copy of Rembrandt's 'Old Man with a Gold Chain' at the Art Institute of Chicago, has been newly attributed to Rembrandt himself by scholar Gary Schwartz.
