The Great Art Forgery

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

It is a wonderful moment in the life of a lover of art when he finds himself suddenly confronted with a hitherto unknown painting by a great master, untouched, on the original canvas, just as it left the painter's studio.
Han van Meegeren is probably the greatest art forger who ever lived. His fake Vermeers fooled everybody including not only the experts but Herman Goering.
Peter Hunt tells his story. Producer ALAN HAYDOCK
