Caravaggio, lost & found

The Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew has been ignored and dismissed as a "dull", minor work and relegated to a side room at [Hampton Court Palace].

But leading 17th Century art expert Sir Denis Mahon has said he has little doubt it is, in fact, an original from the brush of Caravaggio.


From the Telegraph. The painting was bought by Charles I in 1637.
