Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
It was one of the strangest trials in Dutch history. The defendant in a 1947 case was an art forger who had counterfeited millions of dollars worth of paintings. But he wasnt arguing his innocence in fact, his life depended on proving that he had committed fraud. Who was this artist, and why was he on trial for his life? Noah Charney investigates the notorious Han van Meegeren. Lesson by Noah Charney, directed by Hype CG

i met a wonderful art forger once, he's such a genius, he forges a lot of remarkable pieces. tho his Forged art are not perfect tho a lot of people got tricked by it. and also This mysterious art forger have a weird thing going on, for instance he travels only on his boat, a person can only buy one art at a time, the art will be delivered the next day. he wears a navy blue apron everyday. and only could be found not occasionally. He's known by the name of Jolly Redd

I am very nit picky. But Please stop using Holland as a country name. Holland is only a portion of the country when we are called Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden. A. K. A The Netherlands.
It also don't help that in 3: 05 the flag is in the region of North-Brabant.
This is a mistake the Dutch as of this year are also really trying their best to get rid of because Holland represents only 20% of the country in full.

I wonder, after gaining and learning such profound knowledge and artistic skill about Vermeer's art, why didn't he published those lost works as his own?
I think, If he had labeled those works as paintings inspired by Vermeer he could have gained his own respectable fame maybe even more than Vermeer. Just a positive thought though, haha!

If Van Migeden could make and sell more paintings to the (Insert European country ruled by someone who killed 12M people, (That country) Would have debt, hyperinflation and then used a different currency, make a new currency and repeat.

The righteous allies almost condemned a man to death because he sold some paintings to the nazis. Imagine the reaction if some countries actually pardoned nazis and used them to advance their own scientific goals, just imagine.

Its like stealing memes, i stole a meme, but the quality got worse, someone stole my stolen meme, making the quality that was bad, even worse, a few cicles of this and now the meme is a bunch of pixels

I dont understand how could he deceive the examiners on so many art pieces? I mean, one or two makes sense. how did he claimed to find so many? You should have said that on the video.
reply

He could have been a great painter himself if he chose not to forge paintings.
But it would be very unlikely that his (own) works will sell for a high price.

A certain con man once said:
The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it's more real than the real thing.

3: 04 please stop calling it Holland, it's the Netherlands. North-Holland & South-Holland are 2 of the 12 provinces. But it's NOT Holland.
