Having experienced the spell that genuine Vermeer paintings cast over all the viewers at the National Gallery of Art’s special exhibition during my visit in December 1995, I would be most interested in knowing what experts and people in general saw in the forgeries to bring out what sound like similar reactions to those paintings that we who saw the real works of Vermeer experienced.
I enjoyed the audiobook, although I would have liked to know more about the specifics of the sale to Goering. It had sounded as though it was going to be the main episode of the story, but when we finally got to it, the coverage was rather sketchy at best.
