Now, the piece is set for auction at Sotheby\u2019s on Jan. 27 with a guaranteed minimum price tag of $40 million. <\/p>\n<p>And already, one pundit has found a secret within its strokes.<\/p>\n<p>While spending some time with the work recently, Sotheby\u2019s senior vice president and director of Old Master paintings Chris Apostle noticed something odd: What appeared to be the beginning of a composition of the Madonna cradling the baby Christ\u2019s head to hers. When rotated upside down and looked at in infrared, details of this \u201cMadonna of tenderness\u201d are especially noticeable, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/style\/article\/botticelli-man-of-sorrows-hidden-composition-sothebys-tan\/index.html\">CNN reported<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An unknown aspect of a painting, a so-called \u201cunder-drawing\u201d is not unheard of, Apostle said. At the time, the material he painted on, panel, would have been expensive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPanel was a valuable commodity in the Renaissance,\u201d he said, so it makes sense that Botticelli wouldn\u2019t want to toss the canvas just because he\u2019d abandoned drawing the first motif he\u2019d put on it. Instead, it appears, Botticelli simply turned the panel and created the current stunning creation on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>And while the parallel was likely not intentional, the painting\u2019s dark meaning does support the notion that some works are perhaps meant to be abandoned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel that there is something about this picture that Botticelli is projecting, an understanding that we are all going to die \u2014 it has a profound emotional charge,\u201d said Apostle of his interpretation of the work, which Botticelli would have painted near the end of his life. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he had represented Christ full on and rigid this would be more like an icon; a little bit more impenetrable.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
