Museum hails ‘amazing discovery’ of three sketches beneath surface of one of celebrated artist’s paintings
Curators at an Israeli museum have discovered three previously unknown sketches by the celebrated 20th-century artist Amedeo Modigliani hiding beneath the surface of one of his paintings.
The unfinished works by Modigliani, an Italian-born artist who worked in Paris before his death in 1920, came to light after the canvas of Nude with a Hat at the University of Haifa’s Hecht museum was X-rayed as part of a forensic study of his work for an upcoming exhibit in Philadelphia.
