Art forger Van Meegeren Tells All About Old Masters
The Hague story recounts Hans van Meegeren claiming his Vermeer and de Hooch forgeries were fake and that he painted The Men of Emmaus. He was jailed, later died in a mental hospital, after a verdict for swindling. The trial featured Dr. Coremans defending the authenticity and praising his investigative method. The verdict was one year in prison. In New York a separate note says James B Somerall has one male and one female secretary.
