LONDON - For over a century had left a deposit in the Royal Collection. Now it turns out that the painting was not simply a copy of "Calling of St. Peter and St. Andrew," but an original painting by Caravaggio of the seventeenth century.
The painting bought by Charles I in principle, was rendered unrecognizable by the dirt and the ravages of time and was taken to a simple copy. But Professor Maurizio Marini proposed restoration work and then the new truth about the painting.
The painting, oil on canvas, measuring 140 cm to 160 cm and will be exhibited next year at the Queen's Gallery at The Art of Italy in Buckingham Palace from March 30, 2007 until January 2008.
