The location of Banksy’s latest masterpiece has finally been revealed after internet sleuths finally worked out its whereabout. 

Yesterday, the ‘graffiti guerilla’ posted an image of a lighthouse stencilled on a beige wall to his 13.2million followers on Instagram.

The artwork included the words ‘I want you to be what you saw in me’ and in a second photo two people could be seen walking with their dogs past it. 

He gave little away in regard to the location this time, prompting speculation over where it actually is in the world.

However, it has now emerged that it is in Marseille, France – a city with an entrenched history of street art. 

London art dealer MyArtBroker said the mural is on Rue Félix Freiger and that it was first seen in the area more than a week ago. 

The company posted on its website: ‘Beyond the purely visual, the location of this work seems to be no coincidence either. 

‘As France’s oldest and most diverse port city, Marseille has long been a gateway for migrants and a hub for cultural exchange. 

‘Its neighborhoods, like Le Panier and Belle de Mai, are abundant in street art and have histories deeply connected to working-class struggles and immigrant communities.’

Yesterday’s announcement marked Banksy’s first Instagram post since December 16, when he unveiled another artwork portraying a Madonna and child with an element on the wall resembling a bullet wound in her chest.

Banksy, who began his iconic street art more than 25 years ago, has sold his works for hundreds of thousands of pounds. 

Banksy’s identity has long been a mystery, until The Mail on Sunday conducted an investigation in 2008, identifying Robin Gunningham as the Bristol artist. However, his identity remains unverified.

He is also known for his headline-making stunts, such as leaving an inflatable doll dressed as a Guantanamo prisoner in Disneyland, California, and hanging a version of the Mona Lisa – but with a smiley face – in the Louvre, Paris.

Last August, Banksy unveiled nine animal-themed artworks in as many days. 

His final piece depicted a gorilla lifting the shutters of London Zoo to release a sea lion and birds, while other animals appear to look out from the inside.

It came after stencils of a goat, elephants, monkeys, a wolf, pelicans, a cat, piranhas and a rhinoceros were drawn across the capital.

In a bitter blow to his lifelong bid for anonymity, Banksy could soon lose the right to his own name as he faces a bitter legal challenge to take his trademark away from him.

The millionaire graffiti artist, whose team could be made to go public in court, is being forced to defend his trademark of the word Banksy to sell images and merchandise.

The case is being brought by Full Colour Black, a greeting card company that sells recreations of Banksy’s work.

The company owned by Andrew Gallagher has claimed the faceless artist has not used the Banksy trademark and that it should be cancelled for ‘non-use’.

Moreover, one of Banksy’s team will be required to give evidence at a tribunal in the spring to fight against the claims, a source has claimed.

This would be the first time someone would be forced to speak on Banksy’s behalf in public.

The source told The Sun that Banksy, who previously said that ‘copyright was for losers’, could even be in court but ‘we won’t know who he is’.
