The Lost Painting

[the Quest for a Caravaggio Masterpiece]
Jan 20, 2015FVReader rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
I really enjoy a book set in the art world. I like the mystery, the sleuthing, the restorations and the thrill of finding masterpieces that have lain hidden for hundreds of years. This is an account based on the finding of a lost Caravaggio painting, The Taking Of Christ. I looked the painting up and was amazed at the reality and detail of it. It could be a photograph. If I could live another life, I'd love to be an art world sleuth, digging through the layers to find and restore the beauty of the original. I listened to this on audio and thoroughly enjoyed it.
