French city Amiens asks Madonna for loan of lost painting

Description

The mayor of Amiens in northern France has released a video "requesting" that Madonna "loan" the city a painting from her personal collection, which resembles one lost there during World War I. The 19th-century work, "Diane and Endymion" by artist Jerome-Martin Langlois, is "likely" the same one "loaned by the Louvre to the Fine Art Museum in Amiens before World War I and which subsequently disappeared", Brigitte Foure said in a video message to the Queen of Pop posted on Facebook.
