Madrid's Prado Unveils Newly Verified 'Lost Caravaggio'

A newly authenticated Caravaggio painting, "Ecce Homo," is now on display at the Prado museum in Madrid. Initially misattributed and nearly sold at auction for €1,500, the painting was withdrawn from sale by the Spanish government in 2021. Experts later confirmed its authenticity, calling it a significant discovery. The painting will be exhibited until October and then move to the Prado's permanent collection for four months. It reportedly sold for €36 million and will remain on loan to public collections.
