How do you know if a Renoir painting is authentic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wellworthit

Before proceeding to authenticate any articraft first make a small research your self and find out if there is something that can give it off as a reproduction. If this fails than the next step is to find an art expert. He will make a written or verbal assesment perhaps under a small fee and tell you wether your articraft is genuine or reproduction.

There is a Renoir painting called 'Roses'.

There are on the market plenty of handmade reproductions, made to look original.

the museum at st denis in Paris France . it has always been kept in a basement vault since it was drawn in 1955.

I believe that this is bull poo as I have an original, maybe THE original. I have seen thousands of prints and copies but I have one done in Indian ink which I purchased in 1978 and haven't let out of my possession since. Say what you want but I have one that definitely isn't a print.

Where do art museums get their work that they display?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Museums get their objects in a variety of ways. Many are purchased for the museum's permanent collection. Others are donated to the museum for particular exhibits or for the collection. Still others are loans from other institutions or wealthy collectors. Loans rarely happen in the general collection, and are much more common for specific special exhibits.

In 1803 Vivant Denon (the director of the museum) renamed it Musée Napoléon after the Emperor. However after the loss at waterloo most of the artworks (over 2000 of them!) that Napoleon had seized on his conquests were sent back to their countries of origin and the museum was called the Louvre once again.

Smithson was British (I don't know his full name) but he cared so much about education that he wanted to provide for it. He saw the U.S as an opprotunity for that education but sadly before he came to see the U.S he died , in his will Smithson gave all of his life savings for creating a place of knowledge. He is still known. His body is at the Smithsonian somewhere, or so it is believed.

How much does it costs to get into the national gallery in London?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are alot of National Galleries but I take it that you mean London. If so, then there is no cost to enter, just a donation box as you walk round. There may be some incurred costs if you choose to participate in any activities but that depends on what the activity is and its popularity. Hope that answered your question.

Who decides what art gets into museums?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The art in a museum is decided by multiple people, and is always up for contention. Large museums have many people who direct or curate a department, and these people are in charge of finding and obtaining the art works. These people are often overseen by an owner or a collection of owners who can state what they want to have in the museum. There are also private collectors, who can donate works they deem important to museums.
