Support the Investigation
Help Make It Possible
Fine Art Detective is an independent investigation. It is made possible by the people who believe these questions are worth pursuing.
“Some investigations only happen because someone decides they are worth pursuing.”
Every contribution helps keep the investigation independent — free to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
- Independent research and archival access
- Filming and documentary production
- Travel across the investigation’s trail
- Photography and documentation
- Publications and the research library
- Series One and the London & Italy 2026 expedition

A One-Off Contribution
Choose an amount below. Contributions are one-off and processed securely — there is no subscription and no obligation.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Fine Art Detective never sees or stores your card details.
A Deeper Involvement
Become a Patron or Partner
For individuals, collectors and organisations who wish to stand more closely alongside the investigation, patronage and partnership are arranged personally — a considered relationship rather than a public tier.
Other Ways to Help
Not every contribution is financial
Expertise
Scholars, conservators, scientists and specialists who can lend analysis, scrutiny or interpretation.
Introductions
A connection to a collection, an institution, a custodian or a person we have not yet reached.
Research access
Archives, documents, records and libraries that could open or advance a line of enquiry.
Locations
Places, properties and settings central to the investigation’s trail through Italy and beyond.
Travel & accommodation
In-kind assistance that helps carry the investigation between the locations it needs to reach.
Equipment
Camera, imaging, sound or technical equipment that raises the quality of what we can record.
If you can open a door the investigation cannot open for itself, we would like to hear from you.
