In the 1930s and 40s, Han van Meegeren sold fake Vermeers — yes, more Vermeer — to the most dangerous collectors in Europe, including Hermann Göring, and nearly went to prison for collaboration until he revealed the whole thing was a con. The story of how one bitter, overlooked painter weaponized the art world's own snobbery against itself, and why the line between forgery and genius is a lot blurrier than museums want you to think.
