After the Nazis plundered the art in Europe, I wouldn’t doubt that many of the paintings in museums recovered are fakes and the originals in private collections.

Interesting, but wrong.
The idea that you can assign a precise methodology and technique to a personality as “fluid” as Van Gogh is demanding a bit much.

Libtards duped out of $95M bump? LMAO BUMP!

[right way right]

Looks fake to me.

[Leaning Right]

I can relate. I bought what I thought was an original Rembrandt at a yard sale for $25,000. Years later my little nephew noticed that it was really a paint-by-numbers project.

I agree. Looks like a fake. In addition to the arguments cited, the patterns in the sky are all wrong.

In his memoir, director Thomas Hoving talked about buying for the Met the sixth-century BC Greek vase, the Euphronios Krater in 1972. It looked a million dollars, and cost it. He called it the "hot pot" and said it had probably been smuggled out of Italy. It had been and, in 2006, the Met ate humble pie and returned it.

I've got a portrait of Elvis Presley on stretched velvet that was painted by Tintoretto. I'll sell it to the Met for a million in cash.

But not a dime less ...

If it’s a forgery, then maybe the forger isn’t a “third rate” painter.

But my “Last Supper” with the fat Christ to balance out the two skinny ones really is the original.

Regarding the rolling up of the canvas only, it’s possible that it was correctly rolled with the painted side inward. The fissures would then close instead of open when the painting was unrolled. Otherwise, it would be unusual for a painting to not show cracks the same way its similarly painted contemporaries do.
