This catalogue presents the initial results of ongoing research on the approximately 900 paintings. The paintings are discussed based on their historical provenance.

The only existing version of Caravaggio's "Saint John the Baptist" at the Galleria Corsini in Rome, which is kept in the collection, has been successfully investigated by an Italian team, yielding fresh discoveries.
