The second version of Caravaggio’s Judith Beheading Holofernes may have been discovered in a private French collection. The work, which has been missing since the early seventeenth century, was found in an attic in France in 2014. After two years of research, a French art dealer has said that the canvas is the real deal and estimated its value at $136 million. Although Nicola Spinosa, a Caravaggio expert, has backed the findings, other scholars remain skeptical.
