Storia
In early 1920s Amsterdam, Han van Meegeren, a young and talented painter, struggles to gain recognition from art critics who dismiss his work as old-fashioned copies of Rembrandt and Vermeer's styles. In a bold move to prove them wrong, he creates a fake Vermeer painting and manages to sell it as an authentic piece. Rather than revealing the truth, Han continues to profit from his forgeries, becoming increasingly entangled in lies. His life takes a dramatic turn when high-ranking Nazi Hermann Göring arrives at his doorstep, seeking a Vermeer for his personal collection.
Riassunto
Een echte Vermeer is a Dutch film directed by Rudolf van den Berg, released in 2016. The movie tells the story of Han van Meegeren, a talented artist who struggles with recognition in the early 20th-century Amsterdam art scene. Frustrated with criticism that his work is merely derivative, Han creates and sells a fake Vermeer painting, setting off a chain reaction of deceit and ambition. The film explores themes of artistic integrity, the power dynamics within the art world, and the consequences of one's actions when driven by ego.
