Fake or Fortune?
Journalist Fiona Bruce teams up with art expert Philip Mould to investigate the provenance or attribution of notable artworks.


The team investigates an eighteenth-century Venetian scene that has been attributed at different times to Francesco Guardi and Michele Marieschi. Conflicting labels, Royal Academy records and auction documents challenge the family story surrounding the painting, while research in Italy uncovers clues about its early history. The evidence must determine which Venetian master—if either—painted the work.
