The painting that started it all
One painting.
Decades of research.
The object that opened the door to everything that followed.

One Renaissance painting. Decades of research. A trail that would eventually lead somewhere unexpected.
Historical records. Scientific examination. Changes beneath the surface. Symbols, identities, people and places beginning to connect across centuries.
This is where the Fine Art Detective investigation began.
