ITALY-DRAWINGS-MICHELANGELO

Visitors look at Michelangelo Buonarroti's black chalk on paper drawing of Cleopatra (Verso/back) in Rome's Capitolini museums on April 21, 2017. The Museum is exhibiting for the first time ever to the public this work by Michelangelo Buonarroti. This precious exhibition is the result of a discovery recently made at Casa Buonarroti in Florence, where a massive corpus of Michelangelo's designs was preserved during the restoration of 'The Sacrifice of Isaac', a master's masterpiece, made around 1530. 'Isaac's sacrifice', which will be displayed in the two versions on the recto/front and verso/back of the same sheet, will be placed alongside 'Cleopatra', another famous drawing by the Tuscan artist from around 1535, to which a very similar story revealing in fact, that in August 1988, a second 'Cleopatra' is hidden by a backdrop. / AFP PHOTO / FILIPPO MONTEFORTE / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - MANDATORY MENTION OF THE ARTIST UPON PUBLICATION - TO ILLUSTRATE THE EVENT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CAPTION (Photo credit should read FILIPPO MONTEFORTE/AFP via Getty Images)
