Summary |
Journalist Fiona Bruce teams up with art expert Philip Mould to investigate mysteries behind paintings. It is a world of subterfuge and intrigue as they grapple with complex battles often unseen beneath the apparently genteel art establishment. Their sleuthing takes them from New York to Cairo and Cape Town as they unpick clues behind stolen and contested works of art, and unmask the work of a master forger along the way.In the opening episode, Fiona and Philip discover what they believe is an unrecognised and valuable painting by Monet. But can they convince the powers that be?Along the way, they enlist the help of some of the world's greatest art galleries... and follow a fascinating and far reaching provenance trail which takes them from Monet's beloved banks on the River Seine near Paris, to a grand mansion on the Nile home of a wealthy Egyptian collector with an expensive taste in French art.PRODUCTION DETAILSSeries Producer: Simon Shaw; Presenter: Philip Mould and Fiona Bruce; Director and Producer Nicky Illis |
