BBC News - Bruegel painting revealed by restorers in Spain: "previously unknown painting by 16th Century master Pieter Bruegel the Elder has been revealed by picture restorers, the Prado museum in Madrid says.
The painting, The Wine of St Martin's Day, shows about 100 people celebrating the first wine of the season.
Before this find, there were just 40 signed Bruegels in existence.
The museum is now negotiating to buy the painting from its owners at a price of up to 7m euros ($9.4m; £5.9m), said the El Pais newspaper.

However, the painting could fetch up to 25m euros if sold on the private market, the newspaper estimated."
