Colnaghi to manage Madrid Caravaggio restoration, authentication, and sale Renowned gallery will lead scholarly assessment, scientific analysis, restoration, and subsequent sale. Photo: Ansorena. MADRID .-Colnaghi gallery has been selected to spearhead the scholarly assessment, scientific analysis, and restoration of an Ecce Homo painting now understood to be by the great Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The oil on canvas depicting Christ being crowned with thorns was originally attributed to the “circle” of the 17th-century Spanish painter José de Ribera. The painting, which has been in the family of the Pé rez de Castro Méndez for centuries, was set to be sold at auction in Madrid before the family was alerted of its possible reattribution. The family subsequently withdrew the work from auction and the Ministry of Culture has issued an exportation block of the painting from Spain until its attribution and possibly authentication process is complete.
