Martial art! Twelve-year-old boy trips over at Taiwan gallery and punches a hole in a £1million painting
A Taiwanese boy suffered a fall worthy of Charlie Chaplin when he tripped - fist-first - into a £1million painting at an art gallery in Taipei.
CCTV shows the 12-year-old stumbling over the rope barrier separating visitors from the 17th-century oil painting, and as he is catching his balance, he ends up punching a hole in the canvas.
The artwork, by Italian painter Paolo Porpora, has been valued at over NT$50 million, some £1million.
