I Was Vermeer is the story of a paranoid, drug-addicted, alcoholic, second-rate painter whose journey from zero to hero earned him 50 million dollars, the acclamation of the world's press and the satisfaction of swindling the Nazis. Han van Megeeren's canvases would almost certainly be prized among the catalogue of Vermeers had he not confessed. Wynne's biography takes a wry, sometimes scathing, amoral and irreverent look at forgery, the expert, and the career of a mediocre artist who became the world's greatest forger.
