A'muse'ing !

The first public viewing of the "X" painting which is  a younger portrayal of Y ,believed to be painted by Z,  opened at the Arts House at the Old Parliament in Singapore on Monday. 

Experts believe Z started working on X in the early 16th century, 10 years ahead of the Louvre version.The painting was discovered in 1913 in the Somerset home of a British aristocrat and was dubbed "the Isleworth Y" - owing to its resemblance to the more familiar-"Louvre Y".

The portrait was initially rejected by the art experts as a later copy of the famous painting.But in 2013, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology carried out a carbon-dating test and confirmed that it originally came from Z.

Give X,Y,Z.
