Did Michelangelo make the painting of "The Torment of St. Anthony" which has recently been in the news? Writers contemporary with Michelangelo indicate he made a painting of the subject when he was around 12 or 13, and an apprentice in that artist Ghirlandaio's workshop, but it's never been agreed that this painting is the one Michelangelo made. For color photos, including excellent details, see the website of The New York Times, May 12, 2009.
