Forgotten for Years, This ‘Fake’ Rembrandt Could Unlock a Multi-Million Dollar Secret.
For now, the museum wants to share their newly-polished crown jewel with the public. The Portrait of a Young Woman is set to be part of an exhibition this coming summer.
As strange as this story may seem, mistaken attributions do happen in the art world occasionally — and not just with Rembrandt paintings. Just last year, a woman in France learned that a “fake” Renaissance painting hanging above her stove was actually a 700-year-old masterpiece.
Now that you’ve read about the newly authenticated Rembrandt piece, read about the priceless 17th-century Caravaggio painting found behind mattresses in an old French attic. Then discover the hidden sketch found underneath Leonardo da Vinci’s 500-year-old masterpiece.
