Istoričar umetnosti i restaurator, Antonio Forčelino, smatra da je otkrio novo delo Mikelanđela. U pitanju je nedovršena slika na drvenoj podlozi sa predstavom piete, u privatnom vlasništvu jednog Amerikanca. Slika je deo nasleđa porodice, u kojoj se oduvek verovalo da je njen autor Mikelanđelo, odnosno Majk, kako su mu tepali. Njen sadašnji vlasnik odneo ju je pre nekoliko godina na procenu Forčinelu, ekspertu za Mikelanđelove radove, i ukoliko je on u pravu, ovo bi moglo biti jedno od zanimljivijih otkrića u umetničkom svetu. Ostatak stručne javnosti je zasada skeptičan u pogledu ove atribucije.
Citat:Antonio Forcellino, an art historian and restorer who has worked on Michelangelo's masterpieces, first came across the pieta, a 63cm x 48cm oil painting on a panel made of fir, when he was contacted by email by its US owner.
He has since spent five years seeking documentary evidence in Europe and examining the painting at its location in Buffalo.
"The first time I saw it, I was so struck by the strength of it that I felt breathless," said Mr Forcellino, an Italian.
"Only a genius could have painted this -- the darkness which underscores the suffering, the Virgin who looks as if she's screaming and the figure of Christ after he has been deposed from the cross. It's small, but the technique is extraordinary.

In a letter held at the Vatican's secret library, Cardinal Reginald Pole, a cousin of Henry VIII and later archbishop of Canterbury, offered it to Ercole Gonzaga, an Italian cardinal.
Subsequent owners included a baron who was honorary Prussian consul in Dubrovnik, Croatia, and a German baroness who left it to her lady-in-waiting, Gertrude Young, when she died. When Young died in 1905, the painting remained with her brother-in-law -- the current owner's great-grandfather, who had settled in the US.
