The mayor of Amiens in northern France has released a video requesting that American pop singer Madonna "loan" the city a painting from her personal collection, which resembles one lost there during World War I.
The 19th century work, Diane and Endymion by artist Jerome-Martin Langlois, is "likely" the same one "loaned by the Louvre to the Fine Art Museum in Amiens before World War I and which subsequently disappeared", Brigitte Fouré said in a video message posted on Facebook.
