Two Artworks Attributed to Michelangelo Through Scientific Research

Recent research has identified two previously unattributed artworks as creations by Michelangelo. The Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage of Belgium conducted scientific analysis on a Pietà painting, concluding it was produced by the Italian master. Separately, an independent Italian researcher published findings asserting that a marble bust of Christ located in a Roman basilica is also Michelangelo's work. These discoveries emerged through separate investigations using analytical methods to establish authorship of historical pieces.
