Found painting

Caravaggio was a Italian painter who lived in Rome but had to flea when he was accused of multiple killings. A painting supposedly painted in 1607 by this painter was uncovered and was big news because it was worth auctioned off for $171 million dollars. This was a big deal because his paintings are highly regarded, making many museums from different countries want it. The violent and graphic painting was bought by a London museum called Colnaghi.
