 Definition: 

Quattrocento
Matt O`Brien restores paintings, specializing in the Renaissance. When a 15th-century painting he is working on reveals the face of a beautiful woman, he begins to believe that he knows her from somewhere, and he promptly falls passionately in love with her. In a room at the museum where he works--a restored Renaissance studio--he travels back in time to the world of Anna, the woman in the painting. Unfortunately, her lover--a knight who lusts after her fortune--is also part of the scene.
