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.
"Painted by the great Italian artist around 1605-09 and believed to have once been part of the private collection of Phillip IV of, the painting is one of around only 60 known works by Caravaggio in existence, and thus one of the most valuable old master artworks in the world," the Prado added. He said that since the 19th century it had been in the hands of a family in Madrid who recently sold it to an individual who wanted the public presentation to take place in the Prado Museum.
