I saw a very interesting feature in Discovery Channel today, it was about a painting bought by a art collector 38 years ago, The Holy Infants. He believed it to be by Leonardo Da Vinci, so he devoted his time to prove or disprove his theory. It took him 30 trips to Europe to trace the route the painting took from Da Vinci's workshop to the London auction house, and God knows how much to do various testing to the painting such as carbon dating, etc. It is really cool what we could do today due to the advancement of technology.
I really, really wish I had a better picture of the painting.
Oh and once upon a time it was owned by a highborn homosexual whose joy was to watching very young boys. That is really disturbing.
