Albrecht Dürer, who died in 1528, is considered the greatest German painter of his time and one of the most important artists and intellectuals of the European Renaissance, according to Agnews Gallery, the London auction house that owns the artwork. CNN.

Dürer's career and legacy have been extensively studied since his death, and it is extremely rare to find unknown works of him.

An unidentified man from Boston was on his way to a party. While walking, he thought to bring a gift for the hosts and went to a flea market, not suspecting that he would find a treasure worth millions. As he began to look through the stalls, his eyes fell on the painting.

At first, the man who bought the painting thought it was a copy. Then he began to wonder if the painting was actually a copy or the original.

The man tracked down Boston art dealer Clifford Schorer. Schorer agreed to take a look at the painting, but had little hope given that an unknown drawing of the artist's "caliber" was last discovered over 100 years ago.

After three years of research, he was able to confirm that the 162mm x 164mm painting is the original.

According to Schorer, the artwork was purchased at a yard sale at the architect's home, given to her by her art dealer father.

When Schorer arrived to inspect the painting, he was stunned by its quality.

Schorer told the owner, who wished to remain anonymous, "I think it's either the greatest fake I've ever seen or a masterpiece."

Schorer told how he then began a three-year journey to inspect the artwork, during which he made 17 international flights around the world to consult with experts.

This included a round table at the British Museum in London last December where the drawing was studied by scholars in the field along with Dürer's other work on paper.

According to Schorer, the work has undergone a technical age analysis and is branded as an artist.

The painting, titled The Virgin and Child, now hangs in a London gallery and is valued by experts at $50 million.
