It's been almost 40 years since a Caravaggio painting has come up for auction. "The Boy Peeling Fruit" carries an estimate of $3-$5 million, considerably more than the sub $10,000 price the last time it came to market in 1976. Christie's Old Master Paintings Specialist Alexis Ashot explained why Caravaggio paintings are so rare on "Taking Stock." (Source: Bloomberg)
