This 1918 photograph made available on Friday, June 17, 2016, by the Amedeo Modigliani Institute in Rome, shows Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani. Modigliani died in 1920 in Paris at age 35 of tubercular meningitis after a short but intense career that produced masterpieces. A recently emerged painting is under investigation to determine whether it is an authentic work by the Italian 20th century master. The painting will be contained in an exhibition called 'Modigliani, Les Femmes' that opens in Spoleto, central Italy, June 24th through Sept. 10. (Istituto Amedeo Modigliani via AP)
