so what about the Veil of Mannopello??? The Mannopello Veronica has been proven to be a painting. It's attributed to Raphael and was written about and described in contemporaneous letters by Raphael in letters to Dürer in which both artists talked about the technique of creating self portraits on Byssus or Cambric cloth. The Mannoppello Veronica is a dead ringer for Raphael at age 26-30, the time he was experimenting with this technique, 100 years before the veil was donated by "a soldier who claimed to have stolen 'Veronica's Veil' from the Vatican"... Except the Vatican still has Veronica's Veil on display and has no reports of any theft or attempted theft!.
