📸 Photo of the day: historical exposure of Claude Monet's masterpiece in Paris.

A rare work by Claude Monet, the French impressionist painter, set a new record at the Sotheby's Paris auction. The painting "Lilies", whose value is estimated at more than 22 million euros, broke the record for the most expensive price estimate for a painting at auctions in France. Until now, this piece was known to art lovers only through a black and white photograph, and this is the first time the original has been revealed to the public.
