Art Fraud Detective
Description:... A security guard at the Town Gallery learns that 30 of the museum's 34 European masterpieces are forgeries and asks young readers to help him find the forgeries by closely comparing the paintings with pictures of the originals. Each forger leaves a distinctive trademark, making the fakes identifiable. Use of a magnifying glass is suggested. Includes information about the painting by artists such as Botticelli, Holbein, da Vinci, Picasso, Turner, and van Gogh, as well as a glossary of art terms.
