Wikipedia article
'Uncovered' is a 1994 thriller film based on Arturo Prez-Reverte's 'The Flanders Panel'. It was directed by Jim McBride. Kate Beckinsale stars as the main character Julia.
Plot
Julia, an art restorer living in Barcelona, Spain, discovers a painted-over message on a 1471 Flemish masterpiece called 'La partida de ajedrez' ('The Chess Game') reading "Qvis Necavit Eqvitem", written in Latin (English: "Who killed the knight?").
With the help of her old friend and father-figure, the flamboyantly homosexual Csar, who lives at Casa Batll, and Domenec, a local chess genius Julia found in Park Gell, Julia works to uncover the mystery of a 500-year-old murder. At the same time, however, Julia faces danger of her own, as several people helping her along her search are also murdered.
