The Forgery

This episode presents a dramatization of the trial of the Dutch painter and forger Hans Van Moegeren, who confessed to forging a dozen paintings of Jan Vermeer, one of which he sold to Field Marshall Hermann Goering. After the war, he confessed to the forgeries to establish his innocence of collaboration charges. Convicted in 1947, he died in jail but he delighted the Dutch by fooling the art experts.
