Moekoの日本語ベラベラtimeEpi16: 夏だ！恋だ！マッチングアプリだ！【Japanese Podcast: listening practice】

Enjoy the nineteenth episode of Culture To Grow, which allows you to travel the world from the comfort of your home, your car, or if you are still half asleep in your bed.

In this episode, we will be doing something slightly different. Since going forward, the first Monday of every month, we will embark on a thrilling journey that will immerse us in the sights, sounds, and stories of a different country each time. 

In this series, we won't just be tourists, we'll be explorers. We'll connect with a local to learn about the country, its culture, and dispel some of those stereotypes that we may all have. 

But enough from me. It's time to meet someone who knows this destination better than anyone I know. Our guest today is Fatima, she will be our guide as we travel to Iran. 

Let's go! 

Culture To Grow

Episode 19: Let's Travel to Iran!

What do you do if you see an object in a plastic bag lying around at a bus stop?

Most people would say: "Don't touch it!"

That's very good advice — most of the time.

But an object that was once found in a plastic shopping bag at a bus stop has just sold for $22.3 million at auction.

It was a painting by a great artist from Venice known as Titian. It's called The Rest on the Flight into Egypt, and it has a long and interesting history.

Although it's thought of as a masterpiece, it's one of the artist's smaller paintings. In fact, it's only 46 centimeters high and 63 centimeters wide.

Titian painted it early in the 16th century, when he was 20.

The painting, which depicts Jesus, Mary and Joseph from the Bible, has been owned by a number of rich and famous Europeans, including Austrian emperors.

It was taken from Vienna in 1809 by French soldiers, although it was later returned to the Austrian capital.

Later, it was bought by a British collector, but it was stolen in 1995.

And for seven years it was lost. After a reward of almost $130,000 was offered to anyone who could find the painting, it turned up at a London bus stop.

It had no frame when it was found by a well known art detective, but it was in quite good condition.

It had been expected to make between $19 million and $32 million at auction in London. The final amount was a new record for a Titian painting.

But that still might not be a good enough reason to go looking in plastic bags at bus stops!
