Scandals and revelations of art fraud - is not new in the art world. One of the latest revelations - a sensational statement of the Polish art Qaysi Pisarek (Kasia Pisarek) in the British journal «ArtWatch». She argues that a recognized authority among connoisseurs Rubens German scholar Ludwig Burchard (Ludwig Burchard) - forger.
It turns out that the paintings attributed to Rubens Burchard, in fact, belong to the wrist of his students or followers - painters of the XVII century. Random whether such a mistake? Many critics believe that the mistake here is quite acceptable: the authorship of works by Rubens always recognized more or less likely. The problem is that the studio of Rubens in his life was a "belt" on which the collective efforts of the master and his students created hundreds of paintings. The issue here is the degree of participation of the wizard.
Qaysi Pisarek believes that Burchard knowingly signed the controversial expert advice available to them to private collectors and museums. As one of the proofs of the researcher leads Burkhard correspondence with friends. For example, in a letter written by scientists to his friend in 1954, stating that the film "Gideon, who overcomes madiamityan» («Gideon Overcoming the Midianites»), in his opinion, is the product of the XVII century. Not owned by Rubens.

But soon, one of the London gallery receives a certificate signed by Burchard that the undoubted author of the picture is a Rubens. Such expert opinion helps low-selling "Gideon" at the Art Museum of North Carolina (North Carolina Museum of Art). At the request of Qaysi Pisarek the repeated analysis of the paintings at the Center for Flemish art in Antwerp (Centre for Flemish Art), And now, almost 50 years later it was proved that the painting was painted by "follower of Rubens."
Suspicion is also the most famous "discovery" Burkhard - picture of "Samson and Delilah» («Samson and Delilah») - fabric, based in over two hundred years in the collection of Princess Liechtenstein. Burkhard predecessors - the scientists, describes the collection in 1767, 1780 and 1873., Recognized author pupil of Rubens paintings - Jan van den Hoek (Jan Van Den Hoecke). Thanks to a sensational "discovery" Burkhard, announced in 1929 by the author of Rubens' Samson and Delilah ", the painting was purchased by the London National Gallery, where it is now.
The result of this "discovery" disappointing - author of nearly 60 paintings by Rubens, are in the best museums and galleries in the world in doubt.

Fakes painting, reflecting their age, have always existed, as symbols of wealth and culture, tastes and preferences relevant period. The history of forgeries originated during the Roman republic, when the masterpieces of Greek art were copied and sold by the Roman patricians as the originals. In medieval times, the treasury of the churches and abbeys were replenished fake relics. Renaissance spawned numerous fake antiques. For example, the sculpture "Sleeping Cupid of Michelangelo, to the effect of aging was buried in the ground, and then again" unearthed "and sold to an Italian cardinal, for 200 ducats. In the same era were the first forgery in the field of graphics - the fake prints by Durer signed his monogram.
Painter and connoisseur of art Vasari-collecting the most successful forgery, had in its collection a copy of the painting by Tommaso della Porta, which is valued for its high quality.
In the sixteenth century, some fakes created by "highest" order. For example, a copy of Raphael "Portrait of Pope Leo X», was executed in 1524 by the artist Andrea del Sarto commissioned by Pope Clement VII. The original of Raphael liked the Duke Federigo Gonzaga II. However, Pope Clement VII, not wanting to give a picture, but also afraid to refuse, devised a trick by sending a copy of the Duke.
In the seventeenth century copies of paintings by artists considered as a fun and proof of their professional skills. Extant forgery, executed by Pietro della Vecchio - a copy of Giorgione, Terence da Urbino - Raphael, Hans Hoffman - drawings by Durer, and Luca Giordano - the most famous forger of works by Titian, Tintoretto, etc. Interestingly, he won a court case brought by fans Art, who cheats execution and the integrity of his fakes.
The first in the history of the author, the authenticity of his works, was Claude Lorrain. He prepared a book of drawings and prints from their paintings, to stop the flow of fakes, extended even during his lifetime.
Historical painting of the XVIII century. almost never copied, unlike the genre scenes and gallant festivals that have become the subject of role models in the nineteenth century. In Italy at this time of popularity enjoyed numerous fake Pompeii paintings that appeared in the Neapolitan master Giuseppe Hera.
In the XIX century - the "golden age" of fakes, art has become highly visible commercial nature. Moreover, not only tampered with the works of old artists, but also works of major modern masters such as Courbet, Millet and Corot, etc. are sometimes signed his name pictures of their students who needed or friends.
Unlike previous eras, today's forgers do not falsify the picture antique. The most famous fakes in our time are copies of Van Gogh's painter Otto Wacker (1930), a fake Utrillo (1950), as well as meeting Meadows, consisting of "false" Matisse, Picasso and Modigliani.
In the field of ancient art can note a fake medieval frescoes in St. Mary in Lübeck, written by Lothar Malskatom and died in 1950, as well as fake Vermeer, by Hans van shrews. He created a copy of the painting "Christ at Emmaus," which confirmed the authenticity of authoritative experts, was bought in 1937, the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Moreover, it is fraud revealed only in 1945, becoming the subject of lively debate.
