The Art of Crime Trivia Quiz

Answer:

"The Art of Crime" ("L' Art du Crime") is a French television series that blends crime drama with the art world. The show follows Antoine Verlay (Nicholas Gob), a tough and straightforward police detective, completely and utterly indifferent to art and culture, and Florence Chassagne (Eléonore Bernheim), an art historian with an eccentric personality who converses with the artists as a way to get over her mother's death, as they team up to solve complex crimes connected to the art world. Their contrasting methods and personalities create tension and chemistry, forming an intriguing dynamic as they investigate various art-related mysteries. The series combines elements of classic whodunits with a unique cultural and artistic background, offering viewers a captivating blend of suspense and intellectual intrigue. Two of Paris' most iconic museums, the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, offer their treasures as the backdrop to this series that has gained enthusiastic followers worldwide.
