The Pope's caravan by Hélène Bonafous-Murat
|
|
|
Roma, January 1669. In a room at a Jesuit college, an old man is dying. Leone Allaci, a fervent Roman Catholic, was one of the greatest scholars of his time. As his last strength escapes him, he revisits an episode in his life that permanently shook his fierce certainties.
In 1623, he was entrusted with an incredible mission : appointed legate of Pope Gregory XV in Heidelberg, his assignment was to seize its library, the treasure of this Protestant city, known throughout Europe as "the mother of all libraries".
|
|
|
|
With the help of a troop of mercenaries who are quickly joined by a few villagers fleeing the ravages of the "Thirty Years" War, he sets out to cross the Alps with a huge spoils of war ; thousands of precious manuscripts and printed works. During this perilous journey, the 196 crates are the subject of all sorts of covetousness, the troop suffers attacks and sometimes dramatic accidents.
|
Allacci has faith: he knows he is the repository of immeasurable knowledge and he is convinced that he is working for the glory of God. As the journey unfolds, however, he is overcome by doubt : in the person of a young girl who has joined the caravan, he finds an unlikely pupil. Through her innocence and freshness, she brings him back to his forgotten childhood, to his island of Chios, in Greece, whose strange folklore he still carries within him. Through her beauty, she lets him experience the inward conflict between the flesh and the spirit.

Too good to be true By Jean-Louis Gaillemin
|
|
|
From the tiara of the Louvre Museum to the Versailles chairs, the art world has been shaken for more than a century by numerous cases of forgery which have called into question the authority of experts and merchants and have sometimes reached the most honourable institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum and the British Museum, the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles.
The press got hold of it, the public was thrilled.

|
From Gaugin, Otto Dix, Leonard and other "Amarna princesses" by Shaun Greenhalgh to the thousands of Russian avant-garde paintings seized in Germany, from fake Cranach, Velasquez, Frans Hals, Correge, made in Italy to the abstract expressionists concocted in Queens and sold in Manhattan by the knoedler gallery, no area of art has been spared.
The various stories discussed here seek to explain how counterfeiters go about finding the weak point of collectors and specialists and creating then the "too good to be true" object or painting of their dreams.
But sometimes all it takes is a scientific analysis or a parallel investigation of strange money movements to turn the dream into a nightmare.
