Historian Tracks Down Long-Lost Masterpiece Thanks to Stuart Little

Gergely Barki, a researcher at the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest, thought the 20th century Hungarian painting Sleeping Lady with Black Vase by Robert Bereny, last seen in public in 1928, was lost forever - and then he watched the movie Stuart Little . As Barki watched the decade-old movie with his daughter on Christmas Day in 2009 he thought she was imagining things: "I could not believe my eyes when I saw Bereny's long-lost masterpiece on the wall behind Hugh Laurie."
