Summary

Meet Han van Meegeren, the failed artist who became history's most successful art forger by painting 'lost' Vermeers so convincing that Nazi leaders and respected museums fought over them. When he was finally caught after WWII, his confession was so unbelievable that he had to forge another painting in prison to prove he wasn't lying. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
