Gaspard Winckler has dedicated many months to painting a false Mercenary, a perfect copy that is in no way inferior to the one hanging in the Louvre painted by Antonello da Messina in 1475. But Gaspard, prince of the forgers, is nothing more than a man who takes orders from Anatole Madera. And just like in a detective novel, the first page of the book opens with Maders murder by Winckler. Why this death? Why does Gaspard Winckler feel like he has failed in his mission to equal Antonello da Messina? What was he looking to achieve by becoming a virtuoso of the fake?
