Caravage: Un Chef-d'Oeuvre Sort de l'Ombre plot

Has Caravaggio's lost masterpiece, The Virgin Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy, been recovered, or is it a copy? The original masterpiece disappeared shortly after the painter's death in 1610 and is one of Caravaggio's most copied works. The documentary follows the investigation into its authenticity, from restoration to infrared analysis, and reveals details about Caravaggio's tragic life. With contributions from art historians, restorers, and chemists, the painting is gradually attributed to the master.
