NETHERLANDS-ART-EXHIBITION-FORGERY
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY MARIETTE LE ROUX
Recent picture of a visitor looking at the painting Christ and Disciples of Emmaus by Han van Meegeren (1889-1947), on May 11, 2010 in the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam. Seven decades after duping the art world into embracing a fake as "the masterpiece" of Johannes Vermeer, its creator now has his own exhibition in a Dutch museum he once conned out of a small fortune. Entitled "Van Meegeren's Fake Vermeers", it showcases some of the forgeries Van Meegeren sold before he died aged 58 in 1947, test canvasses found in his studio and some of the ingenious forging methods he used.
