Wow, new (old) Caravaggios

The French town of Loches in central France was last night celebrating the discovery of two works by the Italian old master Michelangelo Merisi, more widely known as Caravaggio. The paintings were stored under the organ loft of the Church of Saint Antoine de Loches until a local curator became curious about a coat of arms on the works....

One painting shows Saint Thomas putting his finger in Christ's wound, and another shows Christ at Emmaus.

"Skepticism remains". So it took this guy 7 years to come to this conclusion? Sounds a bit fishy to me. Good if it's true, though!
