Real Raphael Unmasked In National Gallery Copy
The National Gallery confirms a portrait of Pope Julius II, long thought a copy, is the genuine Raphael from about 1511 12. X ray studies and months of work proved the work’s authenticity, linking it to the Uffizi painting as the true original worth an estimated $12 million. Deputy director Cecil Gould leads the discovery, noting the sixteenth century work was bought in 1824 among 38 pieces for 136 800 and kept in reserve. The official called the papal portrait priceless and a small exhibition was opened to show the proof.
