How can someone stumble upon 100 Caravaggio sketches worth an estimated £560m, it simply beggars belief. If this story is true, then can you imagine the public response if part or the whole collection goes on display?
I spent a fortune to see an Art Exhibition in Florence in 2010 that hosted only one Caravaggio. Ok, it was the astonishingly beautiful shield, but nevertheless it was just one piece. Another gallery in Florence housed 4 or 5 Caravaggio's, but all of this pales into insignificance compared to the number of reportedly Caravaggio sketches found in Milan.
I await confirmation with an eagle eye and hope that if true, the sketches reach a wider audience and not a private collector.
