In this June 26, 2017 photo, research materials and books about Renaissance master Michelangelo are pictured at the home of Martin Kober in Tonawanda, N.Y. In the foreground is the 2014 book, "The Ragusa Pieta: History and Restoration," which documents the cleaning and diagnostic analysis of a wood-panel depiction of a dying Jesus that Kober said hung on a wall in his childhood home. Kober has been trying for 15 years, with little success, to get the art world to accept the painting as an authentic Michelangelo. (AP Photo/Carolyn Thompson)
