L’affaire Caravage
Frédéric Biamonti
It is April 2016, and the art world is reeling from the discovery of a lost Caravaggio painting. Discovered by accident in an attic in Toulouse, the painting depicts Judith beheading Holofernes. The shockwaves reach all corners of the art world: debate rages over the painting’s true provenance, specialists argue, the French minister of culture applies an export ban, public curiosity mounts and the market waits with bated breath. The painting is estimated to reach a record €120 million at auction. But is it an original?
