Brad and Angelina ‘at war’ over painting

Brad and Angelina ‘at war’ over painting


Mangalore Today News Network

Nov 15, 2016: Forget that row about who has custody of the kids; the Sunday Express reckons Brad and Angelina are at war over who gets their filthy mitts on a famous old oil painting

 

Angelina


According to the paper, they’ve been tussling over Sir Edwin Landseer’s iconic The Monarch of the Glen, which is likely to fetch up to £10million when it goes up for auction in London next month.

Both Brad and Angelina are more than a little keen on the painting, which has become something of a symbol for the Scottish Highlands. The soon-to-be-divorced pair fell for the artwork while they were renting a manor house in Ayrshire in 2011 while Brad filmed World War Z.

Should’ve just snuck it in the suitcase along with the bathrobes, Brad!

“Angelina and Brad were mesmerised with the painting when they saw it in Edinburgh,” said a family pal. “They later heard it might be for sale and Brad’s manager started negotiations with Diageo but it became clear the company thought it could make more at auction.

“Now it has become awkward because both still want it. So Angelina is sending a representative to bid at Christie’s – and Brad is threatening to do the same.

“It could turn out to be yet another point of conflict between them… or Brad could make life much easier if he compromises and lets her go for it. The money isn’t a problem – they’ve both got the cash for it.”

However, there’s the added possibility that the warring couple could be outbid by the Scottish government.

Arts boffin Sir Roy Strong says Holyrood should splash some cash on the picture as a gift to the nation: “It’s an emblem of Scotland; £10million is not that much these days. If the Scots care about their heritage they should go for it.

“But I suppose the chances are it could go to America.”

Maybe Brad and Angelina could put their differences aside and club together to buy it for the Scottish people? Just a thought.
