Page "Han van Meegeren" Paragraph 16

Van Meegeren delved into the biographies of the old masters, studying their lives, occupations, trademark techniques and catalogues.

In October 1932, the famous art connoisseur and Rembrandt expert Dr. Abraham Bredius published an article about a recently discovered Vermeer which he described as a painting of a Man and Woman at a Spinet.

The painting was later sold to Amsterdam banker Dr. Fritz Mannheimer.
