"Han van Meegeren, the Master Forger, and the Six Vermeers"
My lecture on Han van Meegeren, the brilliant master forger, has been enthusiastically received time and again in theaters, at corporations and at exclusive companies. It is a story full of intrigue, art and deceit-but also a reflection on authenticity, morality and the value of art.
With humor and perspicacity, I, Rik Bouman, take my audience into the world of Van Meegeren: from misunderstood artist to the man who managed to deceive the Nazis. A lecture that inspires, surprises and makes you think.
in this fascinating lecture, I, Rik Bouman, as a professional speaker, dive with you into the fascinating life of Van Meegeren. We follow his struggle against critics who did not recognize his talent, discover how he imitated Johannes Vermeer's painting techniques to perfection and unravel the master plan with which he managed to sell a "Vermeer" to none other than Hermann Göring. But was he a brilliant artist, a shrewd con man or something in between?
With surprising anecdotes, compelling insights and a touch of humor, I bring this incredible story to life as an experienced speaker and storyteller. A lecture full of intrigue, art and deceit-don't miss it!
Topics covered include:
- The rise of Han van Meegeren as a painter
-
His masterful forgery techniques
- The sale of a "Vermeer" to Hermann Göring

You told an interesting story about Han van Meegeren with many facts that I did not yet know. Like van Meegeren, I also studied architecture in Delft and I only found out a few years ago that my first home address in Delft, Vlamingstraat 42, turned out to be the same place where Vermeer painted his street. Anyway, thanks for your fascinating story!

It was a fantastic reading today. It was mouse quiet and your story was well constructed. It was also an exciting story. And it was clever that you could bring out so many story lines side by side from memory. And then all those names .... Nothing wrong with your memory !

It was a successful evening. Everyone listened attentively and even afterward, people talked about it. Of course we knew van Meegeren as a forger, but that's where it stopped usually stopped. Listening to the backgrounds and events was very interesting.
