Well not actually CSI, but by CSI type methods and a 500 year old finger print a painting believed to be by an unknown artist is now believed to be by Leonardo Da Vinci.
During a routine spectral analysis to verify the age of the painting revealed a finger print that matches Da Vinci's at 10 points, only 8 point s are needed for a perfect match according to experts. Other facets of the painting match techniques used by Da Vinci and the age of the painting indicates that it was painted in his time according to the leading expert on Da Vinci.
More tests will reveal the truth, but if this really a Da Vinci that was unknown, it would be worth around $150 million which is a great deal more then the current owner paid for it.
