She didn't see her doctor, and simply joined the ranks of the 13,000 people who are reported missing in New York City each year. But unlike the vast majority who turn up quickly, she was never found.

In a way that neatly illustrates that we are not as clever by half as we think we are .. a couple of statues have now been re-attributed as being the only surviving bronzes by Michelangelo.

Michelangelo's Statues or Dutch Nobodies?

 

I say re-attributed, because art experts in the in the 19th century has been happily convinced that that was exactly what they were, but 20th century art scholars, with that intellectual arrogance and historical revisionism that they have so often portrayed, dismissed this idea, and instead attributed them to an almost unknown Dutch sculptor Willem Danielsz Van Tetrode .... on what grounds its hard to say.
