Discovered by Giovanni Valagussa, conservator at the Accademia Carrara, "The Resurrection of Christ" is dated 1492/1493 and attributed to Andrea Mantegna, as a sister work and continuation of "The Descent of Christ into Limbo" (1492). This work, by the painter from Padua, is conserved in Princeton in the Barbara Piasecka Johnson collection and was auctioned in 2003 for the record amount of 25 million dollars.
After restoration with the most innovative technologies, the authentic work is reunited with the sister work in an exhibition that starts at the National Gallery in London. At the end of its wanderings, the rediscovered canvas will return to shine in the halls of the Accademia Carrara.
