Logic test 8

Expert in art



This is a rather complex task, for the solution of which you may need to use the help of search engines.

One day, one inspector decided to visit his old friend, who was also a great admirer of art. The owner of the house collected a rich collection of paintings from himself, which he presented to the inspector.

After his friend examined some of the paintings in detail, he turned to the connoisseur of real art and said that at least once a connoisseur of art was deceived.

Under the paintings were only the names of artists, but not their names.

Why did the inspector come to this conclusion?

Here are the pictures that the inspector inspected:

''Picture of the bridge'', Monet, France
''Picture of a naked woman'', Rubens, Holland
''Portrait of a man with a smoking pipe'', Van Eyck, Holland
''Self-portrait'' of Durer, Germany.

Answer:



The painting signed by Van Eyck is not genuine, as well-known painters brothers Hubert and Jan Van Eyсk lived in Holland in the 15th century, and tobacco (and in the picture a man with a tobacco pipe) became known in Europe only a century later .
