Art Ping.

Let Sam Cree, Woofie or me know if you want on or off this Art Ping list.

How do you like even fake Rembrandts in contrast to the Turner prize winners I just posted?

It's pretty clear all of the Rembrandt's, whether originals or copies, were done with the assistance of projection technology (camera obscura) known since Aristotles time.

Most trained artists, and even some amateurs with an eye to forged printing, can differentiate between a painting done with only the artist's eye, and those where the artist has a photograph of the subject for reference.
