What Temperatures can you get in Cargo Holds?

Suppose a 50 million dollar Picasso painting, or any valuable painting for that matter, shipped by air. Whats the hottest and coldest that "may" occur in Cargo holds? Do not want anything to happen to the paint!!

Somebodies routinely shipping fine art, air cargo. Assuming; normal routes, London, New York, Geneva ect, nowhere extreme like the Sahara or Siberia. And standard, Boeing or Airbus, Cargo hold or Cargo only aircraft. Obviously the arts packaged properly.

Presuming Cargos holds are normally in the + 7 to +25 range, hotter closer to bulk area where animals are carried. But whats the extremes that occur?

I'am a professional pilot, been asked this question and reaching out for some educated help. Thanks in advance!
