20、in ted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis. Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Vermee'rs other works. Why, then, did the art world accept the fakes as real?One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries actually looked different than Vermeer's

21、other works. The dealer had claimed （声称 ） that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeer's art career. Because painters'styles often change throughout their careers, art historians at the time did not expect the “new discoveries”to look exactly like the known works of Vermee

Because von Bode was highly respected,other experts began praising the “new discoveries.”At the time, this made it difficult to criticize （ 批评 ） the paintings or suggest that they were fake
