Art superintendent Rossella Vodret illustrates some detail of the painting at the center of the latest Caravaggio mystery, after the Vatican newspaper first suggested and then denied that the canvas was the work of the Italian master, in Rome, Italy, Tuesday, July 27, 2010. The "Martyrdom of St. Lawrence" would now be examined to ascertain its attribution, but Vodret and other Caravaggio scholars attending the unveiling agreed the painting did not look like a Caravaggio, but rather like the work of his followers. They said the quality did not hold up to Caravaggio's standards. (AP Photo/Pier Paolo Cito)
