Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Presents Han Van Meegeren’s Fake Vermeers
ROTTERDAM.- Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen presents ‘Van Meegeren’s Fake Vermeers’, an exhibition of the famous forgeries of Han van Meegeren.

During a famous court case in which Van Meegeren was accused of Nazi collaboration, he admitted that he had forged old master paintings, including several Vermeers.

Friday, May 7, 2010
ROME (AP).- A finely painted portrait of a demurely looking woman nestled in an exceptionally ornate frame that was kept in an Italian ducal palace storeroom appears to be a Raphael original and not a copy as long thought, an art official in central Italy said Friday.

Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Fellow art historians, can we ever get enough full and free access to sources? No. No, we cannot. In fact, I suspect that if we had our druthers, every text, dissertation, thesis, review, critical essay, exhibition and/or auction catalogue would live online in full (including footnotes) 24/7/365, forever and ever, amen. Towards this is end, please join me in sending a collective namaste to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on its recently-launched Art Reading Room. The Reading Room's initial...

CASTELFRANCO VENETO.- An ardent journey of discovery into the most enigmatic and mysterious artist of the Renaissance. An exhibition which brings together in Castelfranco Veneto, his native town, an incredible collection of the works of this great artist, who, more than any other, has aroused controversy among scholars and art historians in search of the documented facts, still lacking, giving rise to some very diverse and sometimes far-fetched interpretations of his life and works: GIORGIONE. Torrents of words and ink have...
