Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate four very different art mysteries: a disputed Monet, a Winslow Homer found near a rubbish dump, a celebrated Vermeer revealed as a Van Meegeren forgery, and a supposed Rembrandt connected to Nazi looting. The series establishes the programme’s mix of attribution, provenance, ownership disputes and art-world authority.

The team examines a Degas with uncertain provenance, three Turner paintings dismissed as fakes for decades, and a heavily altered portrait linked to Van Dyck. Restoration and scientific analysis play a major role in recovering the original identities of the works.
