Can You Tell the Monet From the Microscopic Imitation?

Neither one looks correct....but certainly the one on the left is closer, the one on the right has no sole....

Here's a quality reproduction....

Here's a quality reproduction....

ROFL !

This is likely what the painting looked like when painted.....

......undoubtedly. I have a few 'original prints' of stuff on my walls.

Like the film says, "Mo' Monet'

Just for the sake of going phillosophical; There are some amazing art fakers about. What should it matter if nobody can tell the difference from the original ? A painting is either good or it isn't. Art has become an investment commodity.

_{<I'm just stirring the pot a little >}

Good art has a price ceiling, with no provenance or pedigree, that's as high as it will ever go, the price you probably paid when you bought it....If you're an art lover, this is what you buy....If you're an investor, you buy provenance and pedigree because of the collectibility of the piece....If you're an art lover who collects for investment purposes, then you buy art you love that is "highly collectible"....I have a number of copies, bronze statues, oil paintings....

I'm sure if I could examine the two side by side in person, I could pick out the original.

ROFL!

That's the best post I've read all week. GA, mister JB.

Thanks.

I liked yours too.

Wonder if they have any Vermeers in 500 nm. My flat is a bit cramped.

Whilst I'm here, where should I put the Louvre? It doesn't look good in the salt shaker.

Please advise.
