A “VENDETTA” AGAINST A PICTURE

A self-proclaimed “fake hunter” insists that a painting in Britain’s National Gallery said to be by Rubens is a fake. Pay no attention to this man, writes one expert. “An amateur in the worst sense of the word, he has become a man with an obsession, apparently deaf and blind to evidence, disingenuous to a menacing degree, prepared to take words out of context with a knowing and triumphant Gotcha! and thoughtlessly prepared to traduce all who disagree with him; in this bitter feud against the National Gallery he makes an ass of himself.” – London Evening Standard
