    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'?

    This famous 18th-century painting purported to recreate an experiment by a 17th-century scientist, but the painter was equally interested in achieving certain interesting light effects. Somewhat traumatizing to many people who see it (especially pet owners), the painting is now one of the treasured possessions of a great museum in the painter's own country. What is it, and who was that 17th-century scientist?

    Captured artistically by a famous painter, this mayor (who changed his name to co-incide with a certain flower), eventually became a judicial officer.

Who is it, who was the painter and the painting, and what is the body part?
