The Da Vinci Detective was a recent feature length documentary for Channel 4, commissioned as the channel’s response to the Da Vinci Code phenomenon.

It looked at the work of forensic scientist Maurizio Seracini as he explored two mysteries surrounding lost masterpieces created by Leonardo Da Vinci. One reviewer called it a blockbuster, and it was designed to be big. The locations were on occasion epic, the camera keeps moving, and the art on display was uniformly stunning.
