Aparece en la trastienda de una galería de París un ‘caravaggio’ perdido

A lost Caravaggio masterpiece, "Giovane con caraffa di rose" (Young Man with a Jar of Roses), has been discovered in the backroom of a Parisian gallery, according to an article by Maria Cristina Terzaghi, a leading expert in Caravaggio. Terzaghi, who previously identified Caravaggio's "Ecce homo" in Madrid in 2021, found the painting three years ago and recently revealed it to the public through La Repubblica.

The artwork, dated between 1596 and 1597, depicts a young Caravaggio around the age of 25, shortly after his arrival in Rome from Milan.
