The painting was attributed to Marcello Venusti, a contemporary of Michelangelo. Antonio Forcellino, an Italian expert, identified the Italian master’s hand via the infrared technique. According to him, the true author of the canvas is undoubtedly Michelangelo — via redwolf.newsvine.com
A commission. I love the feel of oil paint, but canvas is a bit bumpy for my taste. Also, the drying time… gaaak. By the time it’s dry enough to continue, I’ve lost my momentum and have to kick-start my interest. Gouache has spoiled me — via CrashOctopus Blog
