A new Caravaggio painting may have been found; according to art historian Silvia Danesi Squarzina, Caravaggio painted a portrait of Saint Augustine which ended up in a private collection abroad.
While delving into the Giustiniani archives – she told reporters – she came across a document which bore the title of this forgotten masterpiece painted in 1600; with this important document in her hands, the art historian succeeded in tracking down the lost Caravaggio! It goes without saying that further analyses are required before it can be attributed for certain to the Italian master!
