History[edit]
The painting was on display at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts when Homer had to chaperone a group of kids on a school trip. He saw the painting, spent ages studying it, and fell in love with it. Later, he and Lisa returned to the museum only to find it had been shut down, and the painting was set to be sold at auction.
Homer went to Gavelby's Auction House and attempted to bid for The Poetess. The painting was eventually won by Megan Matheson and was scheduled for transport to her home. However, the painting went missing along the way, prompting Manacek to investigate the theft.
Manacek discovered that several people played a role in stealing the painting. Megan Matheson had hired the guards, who were identical twins, to steal it. However, the painting they stole was a fake, as Mr. Burns had constructed an identical Gavelby's next door, where the real painting was kept. But this, too, was a fake, as Lisa had swapped the painting with her tote bag featuring its image. Lisa did this because it was the first thing she and Homer shared in common. The painting was ultimately returned to the city and put on display at the Springfield Arena Football Arena.
