Product Description

Kirkus, 1 July 2008

First-rate research and narrative skill propel this tale of greed, war and skillful manipulation of the popular imagination. -- Kirkus


Review

Re-spins the van Meegeren saga...in profoundly researched, focused, absorbing depth. -- The New Yorker, October 27, 2008

My advice: Get a copy of Jonathan Lopez's terrific new book, "The Man Who Made Vermeers." It's so jam-packed and nicely written that you'll burn right through it. -- The Los Angeles Times, September 29, 2008

One of the most audacious careers in the annals of art fraud -- a journey superbly etched by Jonathan Lopez in his absorbing history "The Man Who Made Vermeers." -- Salon.com, August 14, 2008

Mr. Lopez is steeped in the literature of the period and it shows to fine effect. -- The New York Sun, August 26, 2008

Lopez has added greatly to our understanding of the subject. -- The New York Review of Books, November 6, 2008

A wonderful book and perfectly done. -- The Compulsive Reader, August 9, 2008

First-rate research and narrative skill propel this tale of greed, war and skillful manipulation of the popular imagination. -- Kirkus, July 1, 2008

A rich trove of reference not only for van Meegeren, but also for the art world between the wars and the forces that shaped opinions and destinies during that troubled period. -- The New Criterion, November 2008
