Hallo Teun, Janet werkt samen met het Louvre en wil dus een en ander afgezwakt hebben. De teksten op de website zijn meteen aangepast. Verder, ik heb de belangrijke regels tekst van Janet bij elkaar gezet in blauw: ============================================================== You have my permission to share these emails with the owner. The following is my sole (= exclusieve) opinion. Both pictures are most interesting. The owner should save the expense of pigment analysis, it only proves the picture is of the 19th century not the identity of the artist. Picture #2 Review the market building on the right side of the picture under raking (= schuin ) white light, or UV light and photographed, if unable to x-ray. Review the sky upper left for the artist's name is again written "Vincent". Again in the sky to the left of "Vincent" signature appears to be "TL" The works may in fact be a collaborative works of Vincent and Toulous-Lautrec (De werken zouden inderdaad gezamelijke werken kunnen zijn van Vincent en Toulouse-Lautrec ) I would estimate the date to be 1886 for both pictures. (Ja logisch, alleen tussen Maart 1886 en Februari 1888 zijn TL en VvG bij elkaar in Parijs geweest) This is my sole (= exclusieve) opinion. ( Het is dus haar stellige mening dat de werken van VvG zouden kunnen zijn, en dat wisten we al ) ================================================================== Ik krijg de indruk dat ze al haar kruit verschoten heeft en dat het weinig of niets gaat opleveren om haar voor veel geld voor ons te laten werken. Normaal gesproken wil ze voor dit soort informatie betaald worden, maar in haar enthousisme is ze dat bij ons even vegeten. Lees haar pagina over Fee's : het tweede helft van http://www.jgsart.com/faq.ivnu Die indruk kreeg in nadat ik op haar website de pagina "" Van Gogh Discoveries"" in paar keer had doorgelezen: Geweldig veel een duur onderzoek en als resultaat zijn alleen ergens de leters V.G gevonden. Wij zij al een stuk verder dan de man die dat betaald heeft. Morgen bellen we weer, vandaag lukte niet. Groeten, Hans ============================================================= ============================================================= At 22:06 2017-12-20, janet g. smith wrote: Dear Hans, You have my permission to publish as changed below. It is not wise to point fingers at any institution, if you wish for them to review the pictures and revise their opinion in the future. My art history students are allowed to do research at a Louvre, so my access to their archives is critical. I am proud of my students work there.
