Een Echte Vermeer plot

Early twentieth century. Like his idols Rembrandt and Johannes Vermeer, the talented Han van Meegeren paints with almost photographic precision. When the married Han starts an affair with the wife of the widely respected art critic Abraham Bredius, he has to pay for it. Han's major solo exhibition is completely burned down and he is portrayed by Bredius as a bungler, quick draftsman and copyist. The narcissistic Han decides to take revenge on the art world.

I also looked at this one and didn't find it wrong. Not wow, but not bad either. The film was not boring and the cast also did well. Despite the slightly longer playing time, it was not boring. Still worth a look.

Shortly after the end of the war, the Delft painter Han van Meegeren [Jeroen Spitzenberger] had to answer for his role in the sale of Vermeer's painting “The Supper at Emmaus” to Hermann Göring for 1.5 million guilders. Van Meegeren tries in vain to make it clear to the public prosecutor [Raymond Thiry] that it is not a real Vermeer, but a forgery that he made himself. However, the forgery is so convincing that it is difficult to prove. In flashbacks we discover what circumstances made Van Meegeren decide to focus on forging paintings. An important role is played by Jolanka Lakatos [Lize Feyn], the lover of art expert Abraham Bredius [Porgy Franssen]. Han's obsession with Jolanka puts great strain on his marriage to Anna [Dewi Reijs]. Spitzenberger is good as the troubled Van Meegeren in this sensational story and Claude Humbert deserves praise for his tiny role as Hermann Göring, but Van den Berg's choice for a non-chronological approach disrupts the dramatic structure, meaning the story never becomes as compelling as it could have been. are.

The artist and his muse, the compulsion, the lust, the depression, the will and the drug. All this together is reasonably exhibited by Spitzenberger with his opposite and muse Feryn. Good role by Spitzenberger as an almost manic-depressive artist who seeks recognition in the artistic world linked to the love he experiences and at first seems unattainable. Fernhout and Franssen also do what they do best. As good as a true story with the core in the 1930s and 1940s. His way of working now falls under postmodernism and is admired for his unprecedented forgery techniques of that time.
