We've been doing a whole lot of nothing for the past few days except relaxing.
Normally we watch crime dramas and docs on Netflix or Prime when we turn on the tv, but today we found a show called "Fake or Fortune" on Netflix and really loved it.
If you like art, mystery and history...........it's worth a watch. The hosts travel to various locations and interface with art experts, scholars and detectives/researchers in attempt to determine whether paintings possibly done by famous artists are real and how much they could be worth to the holders.
There's a lot of detail paid to analysis of the technique and materials, along with interviews with family members and others who can help retrace the history of the paintings.
Unfortunately, there are only 4 episodes available on Netflix now and we don't get BBC (where I believe the show has been aired for 7 or 8 years). The one focused on a Winston Churchill painting was really interesting. I didn't even know he was a painter, but he was quite good.
