Nov-06-08		al wazir: According to James Fenton (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/art...) "the majority of the ninety-three paintings that [Philadelphia magnate P.A.B.] Widener had bought from the dealer Leo Nardus were fakes or otherwise worthless. Widener was ready to confront the swashbuckling, mustachioed champion swordsman and chess master Nardus . . . [but Widener's lawyer] John G. Johnson . . . who had been responsible for introducing Nardus to Widener . . . effectively subsidized the partial compensation an unrepentant Nardus was induced to offer."

Jun-18-09		myschkin: . . . Bottom line: There were persistent rumours that Nardus - a gifted portraitist on top of all his other accomplishments, was an active forger of Old Masters. Although Nardus's grandson disputes that notion vehemently, it is clear that Nardus did sometimes sell forgeries. Leo the cheeky rascal, thx for the links @all
