    This work of art was scrutinized at the time for 'non-placement of corrective mirror image construction'. The artist signed his name on an item bearing the world's first registered trademark, suggesting a form of sly advertising. What is the title of the painting, who painted it, and in which modern film did the subjects of the painting appear to have changed race?

    		This is one of my favorite paintings, Edouard Manet's spectacular "Bar at the Folies Bergere (1882)," in which Manet signed his name on a bottle of Bass Ale or beer. The film "Coming to America" transformed this elegant and intricate image involving white actors into one populated by Black people.

    		Nice One Frankie, just the one, and interestingly it was the modern version of Velazquez's Las Meninas, as your site also proclaims.

    Yup, the world's first trademark was the red triangle of the Bass brewery in London registered on January 1, 1876.

    This 17th century painting is at the height of controversary over a missing body part. The original was once engraved by another artist in its mirror image. A second copy was made not long after, but inside another painting, that is, a painting within a painting. Both copies have this body part exposed, whilst the supposed original, in the London National Gallery doesn't, which has caused concerns that what they have is a fake. Which painting is it, who painted the original and what one other discrepancy appears between the copies and the 'original'?

    A few years ago, a painting attributed (somewhat dubiously) to a major Italian master was prevented from leaving the U.K. by a national campaign. Now, another painting, this time a portrait, by that artist is about to appear on the auction block. What is the work about to be sold, who painted it and whom does it depict, and what was that earlier work? An illustration of either painting would be welcomed.

    Painted nearly 450 years ago by an artist who founded a professional dynasty, this work inspired poems by two 20th-century authors, one American and one British. The first poem takes its title from the title of the painting; the title of the second refers to the institution where the work of art now resides. What is the painting, and to which poems am I referring?
