Abstract

The most successful art forger of the twentieth century was Han Van Meegeren who, among other dastardly deeds, created and sold six fake Vermeer paintings in the brief period between 1937 and 1943 for the equivalent of 30 million of today’s dollars. Adding to the intrigue of Van Meegeren’s crimes was that one of his victims was Hermann Göring, the second most powerful monster in Nazi Germany. Johannes Vermeer, the artist who Van Meegeren impersonated on canvas, is one of the best known and most beloved painters of the Dutch Golden Age, probably most famous today for his “Girl with a Pearl Earring.” Vermeer lived from 1632 to 1675 and produced only 35 or so paintings that are known today. The scarcity of his work adds to its value.
