When hot-headed police captain Antoine Verlay (Nicolas Gob) gets involuntarily assigned to a department investigating stolen works of art, he's teamed with the wildly imaginative Florence Chassagne (Eléonore Bernheim), a historian with connections to France's most esteemed members of the artistic scene. Their partnership leads the two of them into mysteries surrounding renowned masters of artwork – Monet, Bosch, van Gogh and more. From chasing leads through the Louvre Museum to interrogating witnesses in the Opera Garnier and many more emblematic locations, the trail this unlikely duo follows quickly signals that the key to understanding their suspects lies in the art itself. Crime, history, romance and art intertwine deliciously in the first five seasons of THE ART OF CRIME, a landmark television event featuring France's best and brightest.
