The King's Mistress Hidden in Plain Sight?

In 1452, the royal treasurer of France commissioned a painting of the Virgin Mary that scholars have spent 570 years trying to explain. One breast exposed. A face too geometric to be human. Angels in colors that belong to no tradition. And at the center — a question that has never been answered. This is Jean Fouquet's Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels. Hidden Intellects opens it.
