The small city of Amiens has sent out a plea to pop-icon Madonna, seeking the brief return of a painting that once hung in the city’s museum. Amiens hopes the return of Jérôme-Martin Langlois’ Diana And Endymion will help its chances in becoming the European Capital of Culture, and is turning to the singer for a loan.
“We do not dispute in any way the legal acquisition that you have made but we are candidates to be European Capital of Culture in 2028. So I would like that on this occasion, this year, you could lend us your painting,” Amiens mayor Brigitte Fouré says in a video posted on Facebook.
