The Prado Museum in Spain has confirmed the authenticity of a painting titled 'Ecce Homo' by Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, previously thought lost.
Spain's Prado Museum on Monday confirmed that a painting that was due to be auctioned in Madrid in 2021 is in fact a work by Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio that was considered lost. It will be unveiled to the public for the first time in the museum later this month.
The oil-on-canvas work depicts the Biblical passage of the Ecce Homo, in which Jesus Christ is presented to the crowds before being crucified. The work measures 44 by 34 inches. Although now owned by a private individual, the painting will not be allowed to leave Spain without government permission. The Prado said that since April 2021, the work has been under the custodianship of the Colnaghi art gallery in collaboration with experts.
