Henricus Antonius van Meegeren (Deventer, October 10, 1889 – Amsterdam, December 30, 1947) was a Dutch painter and art forger. In his younger years, Van Meegeren was widely praised. However, the criticism turned after a few years. His artistic conception of art, following in the footsteps of the old masters, was regarded as unoriginal. Appreciation further declined when Van Meegeren started painting portraits and still lifes that were widely reproduced. They sold excellently, but critics and colleagues from the Haagsche Kunstkring called it `conveyor belt work'. One of his famous forgeries by Vermeer is still part of the collection of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
