A trip to the art museum could have turned into a very costly trip for a 12-year-old boy in Taipei when he lost his balance and put his hand through a painting worth around $1.5 million.對於台北一名 12 歲男孩來說，去藝術博物館可能會成為一次代價高昂的旅行，當時他失去平衡，把手伸進了一幅價值約 150 萬美元的畫作。

 The damaged work, “Flowers” by Italian master Paolo Porpora, was part of a Taipei exhibition of artwork by or influenced by Leonardo da Vinci.這件受損的作品是義大利大師保羅·波波拉（Paolo Porpora）的《花》，是台北藝術展的一部分，該展覽是由李奧納多·達文西​​（Leonardo da Vinci）或受其影響的。

 Porpora was a   leading still life artist who produced baroque-style paintings, often of fruit and flowers.波波拉是一位領先的靜物藝術家，創作巴洛克風格的畫作，通常以水果和花卉為主題。

 The work was 200cm tall, depicting flowers in a vase.作品高200公分，描繪了花瓶中的花朵。

 The film  released  by the organizers of the “Face of Leonardo: Images of a Genius” exhibition shows the boy – in shorts, sneakers, a blue T-shirt and holding a drink – walk past the painting, catching his foot and stumbling over.「李奧納多的臉：天才的影像」展覽的組織者發布的影片顯示，這個男孩穿著短褲、運動鞋、藍色T卹，手裡拿著一杯飲料，走過畫作，絆住了腳，絆倒了。

 He looks up at the painting, shown later to have a fist-sized gash at the bottom.他抬頭看著這幅畫，後來發現畫的底部有一個拳頭大小的划開口。

 The boy  freezes  , looking around at other people in the room.男孩愣住了，環顧房間裡的其他人。

 Organizers did not believe that the boy intentionally vandalized the oil painting, saying that it was obvious that the boy did not mean to push it.“All 55 paintings in the venue are   authentic  pieces and they are very rare and precious,” a post on the exhibition’s Facebook page said. 主辦單位不相信男孩故意破壞這幅油畫，稱男孩顯然不是故意推的。「場內55幅畫都是真跡，非常罕見和珍貴。」展覽的Facebook頁面說。

“Once these works are damaged, they are permanently damaged.”“這些作品一旦受損，就會造成永久性損壞。”

 Nevertheless, the exhibition organizers decided not to  charge  the boy for the damage and said that the painting could be easily restored.儘管如此，展覽組織者決定不向男孩收取損壞費用，並表示這幅畫很容易修復。

 This incident, however, made them reconsider displaying valuable paintings in the open.然而，這一事件讓他們重新考慮公開展示有價值的畫作。
