Keith Christiansen and Michael Gallagher of the Met discuss their research and conservation of the first known painting by Michelangelo Buonarroti believed to have been created when he was twelve or thirteen years old (circa 1487-88). Recently acquired by the Kimbell Art Museum, the painting The Torment of Saint Anthony underwent conservation and technical examination at the Met, leading to this new attribution.
