Dutch Forger May Go To Prison

German police have just arrested Dutch artist Andreas Van den Berg in Hamburg for forgery. Yesterday he sold a Rembrandt copy to a Berlin art dealer for 4,3 million euros. Van den Berg is Dutch but was born in Hamburg, and he has lived there all his life. His father was the famous portrait artist Lucas Van den Berg, and his son has learnt a lot from him. He has been an outstanding artist for many years and could copy different styles of paintings since he was twelve years old. He could do everything from Rembrandt to Andy Warhol. Hermann Schneider saw Van der Berg in a Hamburg bar three years ago. ‘It was strange, he didn’t know any of the customers in the bar, but he bought lunch for everybody.’ I really couldn’t understand it – he was only seventeen, and he had a lot of money. I’ve been very interested in Andreas Van den Berg since that day.’ A week ago, Van den Berg went to an art gallery with a Rembrandt painting. Schneider followed him and waited for a quarter of an hour. Then Van den Berg left with a big suitcase and quickly ran into a bus station. The gallery owner told Schneider that the painting was just a cheap imitation. Schneider arrested Van den Berg at his office a few hours later. Van den Berg was arrested only yesterday, but his wife has already spoken to Die Welt.
