A painting mistaken for a $1,600 student work turned out to be a $40 million Caravaggio masterpiece—and it’s now dazzling art lovers in Madrid! Ecce Homo, depicting Christ presented by Pontius Pilate, survived centuries of obscurity after vanishing from Spanish King Felipe IV’s collection.
The artwork hung unrecognized in a family home for 200 years until its 2021 auction. Sellers believed it was merely a copy by José de Ribera’s pupil—until experts spotted Caravaggio’s signature dramatic lighting and emotional depth. Talk about a plot twist!
The rediscovery has shaken the art world: 'It’s like finding buried treasure,' one curator said. The painting’s jaw-dropping journey—from royal halls to humble walls—proves truth really is stranger than fiction.
