Sébastien Bourdon

born: Montpellier, France; 1616
died: Paris, France; 1671

 

In 1634-7 he worked in Rome. He developed a talent for faking the work of other painters and increasing the value of his work by selling it as theirs. Among the artists he faked were Claude and Duget He continued to fake other artists when he returned to France, and thus his output is hard to define and separate from those he imitated.
