| Summary |
UK journalist Fiona Bruce teams up with art expert Philip Mould to investigate mysteries behind paintings. It's 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 this episode, the focus falls on a painting found dumped near a rubbish tip in Ireland which turns out to be a lost work by one of America's most important 19th century artists, Winslow Homer. In a shock for all concerned, it's valued at 250,000 dollars. But who legally owns the picture, and why was it found in such an unlikely place? Philip and Fiona investigate.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Presenter: Philip Mould and Fiona Bruce; Series Producer: Simon Shaw; Producer/Director: Nicola Lafferty |
