Een Echte Vermeer

Meegeren (Henricus van) was the most successful and the most influential art forger ever. The specialty of Meegeren was Vermeer. With his fakes after Vermeer he amassed a fortune worth more than half a billion dollars in today's currency. After the Meegeren exposure in 1945, a wave of self-criticism surged through the world's art museums and many an Old Master or a Vermeer disappeared from their walls.
