This German artist, considered one of the most versatile art forgers in history, admitted that he created hundreds of paintings by renowned artists. In 2011, he was convicted for his forgeries. After serving his sentence, he and his wife Helene published two books, created a documentary film and a 15-part television cultural program. Since 2015, he has been working very successfully as an artist on various art and exhibition projects. His project The Greats gained worldwide recognition in 2021. For this project, Beltracchi created paintings in the styles of seven different old masters, including Picasso, Van Gogh, Da Vinci and others. His book The Self-Portrait has its Czech premiere at this year’s Book World Prague.
