Agree, the examples shown here are not convincing. I am aware that my screen might not render the colors faithfully, but the fakes really lack subtlety and 'understanding'. For example, look at Charles Courtney Curran, “Three Women” (1894). The left piece is completely wrong; sunset but the highlights are blueish white. The right piece makes me looking at it by the subtle evening light that brings the scene to life—highlight on the hair, cheeks, the robes. All is gone on the left.
The same holds for “Terrassiers, au Trocadero”, the warm blue's are replaced by some heavy cold ones. Also a lot of lost detail again.
I have seen way better replica's.
- sodonan 12y agoThe colours are different because of the difference in age. They tend to fade...
- exceptione 12y agoI know they change, but not this way for this age of the painting. Also: not fading per se, (oil) paintings tend to get dirty over time and hence get darker.
