Painting by master turns up in Texas

? A painting by Italian master Sebastiano Ricci, long presumed to be lost, has turned up in Texas after a 300-year journey from the hands of a European nobleman playboy to a fur trader and finally through generations of one family.

Ricci’s “The Vision of St. Bruno” will be offered by Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries on Nov. 20. Heritage officials say the painting has been conservatively estimated to fetch at least $600,000.

A Heritage official said Ricci probably painted St. Bruno around 1705.
