The Forger's Spell explains how a man faked a series of Vermeer paintings in the early 20th century and why the world bought into them. One of the fakes was even hailed as the greatest Vermeer of all.
Mr. Dolnick provides a thorough examination of the personalities involved, the physical hurdles that the forger had to overcome to create his fakes, and also explores the psychology that allowed the paintings to be accepted as genuine.
The Forger's Spell is an amazing true story.
