lend a painting

On the other hand, the mayoress of the French city of Amiens, Brigitte Fouré, went around the world this Tuesday with a request through social networks to the American singer Madonna to lend a painting.

It is a painting identical to a work that was on display at the Amiens Museum, on loan from the Louvre in Paris, until it disappeared during a German bombardment in 1918, near the end of the First World War, for which reason it is considered that it was stolen.

Madonna is somewhat different.

The Madonna painting was bought at Sotheby's for $1.3 million and has been seen in photos on the singer's social media account.

In those images, it can be seen that the painting is identical to the missing one, but some measurements made from them show that it is missing three centimeters in height.

According to some experts, if it is the original work, that part would have been removed to eliminate the date and the author's signature.

This is the work

, made in 1822 by the French neoclassical painter Jérôme Marin Langlois (1779-1838).

In her message, the mayor says: "Madonna, you probably don't know Amiens" but "there is a special bond between you and our city."

She adds that Amiens will be a candidate for the European Capital of Culture in 2028, so "I would like to lend us that painting for that reason."

However, the public channel France 3 warns that if the work reaches French soil, it may not leave the country again, since works belonging to the French State cannot be sold.
