A Masterpiece

Last night on TV
I saw a programme called
Lost Masterpieces.
In it, a painting,
of unknown provenance,
was given the third degree,
examined by experts
intent on discovering
its pedigree.
 
Because of his fascination,
a sleuth was said to be
a scopophiliac.
One may think it was
a blow below the belt
but he accepted the tease
with good humour.
I understood and shared
the pleasure he felt.
 
The beautiful image
of a Madonna and child
that was shown on the telly
was exquisitely done
and perhaps the work
of Sandro Botticelli.
There was many a clue
but we still don't know
if that assumption is true.

You drove me to google with your fancy pants terms Luigi, but hopefully I'll be able to make use of this new addition to my vocabulary in the future.

Some nice plays on words in this - well done!

Those words have a habit of slipping in unnoticed, Claudine. laugh
Hope they don't spoil your enjoyment.

Warm regards and usual thanks. Luigi x
