Die Kunstjäger: Meisterwerk oder Fälschung?: A Mystery Old Master

INHALT

Fiona Bruce and art expert Philip Mould visit a church in Lancashire, once patronised by Yorkshire's famous Bronte sisters, that is the home of a painting thought to have been produced by an Italian old master. The picture itself is a pieta, an image of the aftermath of Christ's crucifixion, and Philip has a hunch it may be from the Italian Renaissance, possibly making this one of the oldest pieces featured in the series so far. On behalf of the church's congregation, Fiona and Philip travel to Italy to compare the Lancastrian pieta with works by old masters Titian and Tintortetto, while back in the UK, Bendor Grosvenor investigates the history of a local aristocrat who believed to have donated the painting to the church more than 200 years ago.
