This is for me not ochem not said those who went to school see and feel is much deeper than those who did not pass school. But among those who went to school does not necessarily "all will see and feel the same way.

Bredius, ridiculed and depressed, once again proved its incompetence in art scholarship.

I think this is a good example showing that many art historians, despite their education (ie, extensive reading) is not able to understand the essence of art and guided only by external features, ie, turn its attention to the formal side of art. And sometimes, just speculating.

Such known works by Caravaggio, two: in Odessa, dating from the 1598 year, and, more commonly known, in Dublin, dating from 1602.

I have also considered a copy of Odessa - because of facial expressions of Christ and the fact that for him, who shouted. A person too melodramatic, a little sugary ... and screaming is not as "passionate" ... I do not know how better to say ...

And they still (in Africa), cast ... (According to the same obscene primitive artisanal recipes melted metal from junk nepotrebnyh metal residues and pour figurines for tourists) ..
 The level now (art) in accordance with the level of tourists. course ..
Threat:

«Christ and the Sinner" (Vermeer)


Vermeer's painting "Christ and the Sinner" was found in the collection Goring (Hermann Wilhelm Göring). Sledsvie happened at Van Meegerena studying the history of sales, this particular painting. The most lucrative forgery (and experts believe the worst) proved fatal.
Passed through the hands of multiple mediators from Meegerena to Dr. Walter Hofer (Dr. Walter Hofer) who bought the painting on behalf of Goering in a record amount ever received for forgery Meegerena - 1 650 000 guilders (£ 4,000,000)

The Woman Taken in Adultery 96 x 88 cm, oil on canvas, painted around 1941-42

In essence, our knowledge about the artist today is no different from that which was say, a Torah-Byurzhera, Vermeer opened to the public in the last quarter of the 19 century. On the day segodnyaschny know about 30 works by the artist, while specialists with strict atributatsionnymi krtieriyami further restrict their number.
Creative and personal biography Vermeer remains to this day (and one might think, will always remain) a mystery. In particular, it is unknown where and with whom he studied Vermeer, whether he was in Italy, who of artists influenced him, did not survive a single figure of Vermeer. Being the master guild of St. Luke at Delft, he was obliged to have students, but do not know a single student Vermeer. Nor is there a chronology of creation, although based on stylistic analysis of works by A. Willock was trying to restore it.
As for the success of forgery shrew, we can say this.
From the early works of the artist known for "Diana and the Nymphs" (signed), "Christ in the House of Martha and Mary" (signed), "Summary" (signed), and attributed A. Willock copy with Felice Fikerelli "Holy Praksedis" (the latter is not All experts agree unconditionally) and preserved in name only "Wives, Women at the Sepulchre."
Thus, today there are only three absolutely reliable work of the early period, with the plot and technically they differ among themselves.
For example, the manner of "Christ in the house of Martha and Mary" is very different from the manner of "composite", which, of course, very difficult stylistic analysis.
The emergence of "Christ at Emmaus" virago perfectly formed the general background art history theories of his time. Karavadzhistskaya composition and chiaroscuro techniques gave rise to talk of a possible visit to Italy, or at least, of Utrecht, in addition, and this is important, they gave reason to believe Vermeer Catholic (as in the Netherlands there is some competition between Catholics and prtestantami). The inclusion of "Christ at Emmaus" in the body of works of Vermeer, thus allowing complete a sufficient number of gaps in the biography of the artist, well, and modest artistic quality of the attribution of student's period.

In general, the story of Vermeer absolutely incredible: in the XVIII century, his works attributed to Rembrandt (while for us to clear a huge difference between these artists).

At the end of XVIII century Vermeer opened Charles Le Brun (Charles "Le Brun), husband of artist Elizatet Vigee-Lebrun, a famous playboy, red tape, and art dealer.

But then it you can imagine, once again forgotten (just as a peasant, who was lying in hospital next to the one my friend: he had drunk had fallen from the 9 th floor at 3-d it "caught but not kept; result - fell in the snow, broke his little finger)!

Then - see an excellent post in Leningrad.

As this stuff could be taken for Vermeer - this riddle!

A good story about this forger is in the book Grigory Kozlov Attempted Art. Art Detective. " Publishing House "Word", 2007.

  Another great book about Meegerene - "The Double Life Vermeer" Moscow publishing house "hummingbird.
This artistic biography Vermeer, Van Meegerena and even Hermann Goering, interwoven in a detective plot. And yet, this meditation on the fate of an artist in the world, as well as professional analysis of the works of great Dutch master.
