Christ and the Adulteress

The Van Meegeren forgery sold to Hermann Göring in 1943, recovered from his Aussee salt-mine stash in 1945, and the painting whose discovery unravelled Van Meegeren’s entire fake-Vermeer enterprise. Long-term loan from the Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed to Museum de Fundatie, where it was the centrepiece of the 2023 exhibition Looking for Vermeer.
