$50 Million Rembrandt Selfie Authenticated

June 10, 2014

In 1968, Rembrandt specialist Horst Gerson and the Rembrandt Research Project dismissed this 1636 self portrait of Rembrandt at the age of 29 as a fake or copy.  Now, almost half a century later with the help of new tests like x-ray, infra-red and paint analysis, Rembrandt specialists have declared the work to be authentic.  The work now hangs in the former home of Sir Francis Drake and has been appraised at $50 million.
