Born 13 years after da Vinci, Michelangelo followed in his footsteps as a Renaissance man. He was an accomplished artist, poet, architect, and engineer. His best-known work is probably the sculpture David, which was completed in the opening years of the 16th century.

The owner of the painting, Marty Kober, has spent 15 years trying to prove the former, reports CBS News correspondent Don Dahler. It may be one of two paintings called the Lost Michelangelo's by a renowned Italian scholar and restorer who wrote about the paintings in a 2011 book.
