The BBC are doing a new series that looks at attribution of works, possible fakeries and how one goes about proving a painting is by a famous painter. The first episode was on earlier today and it looked at a painting that may or may not be by Monet. In the process of trying to work out whether the painting is genuine, the programme goes into some detail about Monet's painting style and the techniques scientists and art historians can now use to examine works. It also highlights some rather unsavoury aspects of the attribution process.
