Michelangelo: Bronze sculptures may be by Renaissance artist

Academics at Cambridge University think they have found the answer to a mystery that has been baffling the art world for more than 100 years.

Piecing together visual, technical and anatomical evidence, academics have dated two bronze statues between 1506 - 1508 and believe them to be the work of Italian Renaissance artist, Michelangelo.

If proved correct, the statues would become the only surviving bronze statues by Michelangelo in the world.
