Eric Hebborn has written a book revealing his paintings in museums 1991

British artist Eric Hebborn is considered the most brilliant student to have passed through the halls of the Royal Academy of Arts in the 1950s. He later combined his artistic talent with the skills he learned as a restorer. Today, at 57, and from his Italian villa, he has written a book that, although not yet published, will be released in London next month and has shaken the art world. The book reveals that 1,000 drawings by Hebborn hang in the world's most important museums, attributed to masters of the past. The deception was largely made possible by Hebborn's friendship with Sir Anthony Blunt, the curator of the Royal Picture Gallery and a spy in the service of Moscow, who authenticated some of the works. The National Gallery will have to decide what to do with this Saint Ivo, which is presented as the work of a 15th-century Flemish painter. Hebborn claimed to be the artist, but then, to further complicate matters, he recanted. The forger maintains that he is not afraid of justice, as he never denied that the works were his. He says he always leaves the attribution to the experts. Some museums have already admitted to being deceived by Hebborn's forgeries. For example, the British Museum, which displayed a painting attributed to Anton van Dyck for 10 years. Others are still struggling to accept the deception.

El británico Eric Hebborn está considerado el alumno más brillante que pasó por las aulas de la Real Academia de Arte en los años 50. A sus dotes de artista unió más tarde los trucos que aprendió como restaurador. Hoy, a sus 57 años y desde la villa italiana donde reside, ha escrito un libro que, sin haber sido publicado todavía, saldrá en Londres el mes que viene ha conmocionado el mundo del arte. El libro revela que 1.000 dibujos realizados por Hebborn cuelgan en los más importantes museos del mundo atribuidos a maestros del pasado. El engaño fue posible en gran medida gracias a la amistad de Hebborn con sir Anthony Blunt, el conservador de la pinacoteca real y espía al servicio de Moscú, que certificó algunas de las obras. La galería nacional tendrá que decidir qué hacer con este San Ivo que aparece como obra de un pintor flamenco del siglo 15. Hebborn afirmó ser el autor, pero luego, para complicar más el asunto se retractó. El falsificador asegura no temer a la justicia, ya que nunca negó que las obras fueran suyas. La atribución, dice, se la dejo siempre a los expertos. Algunos museos ya han reconocido haber sido engañados por las falsificaciones de Hebborn. Por ejemplo, el Museo Británico, que tuvo colgado durante 10 años un cuadro atribuido a Anton van Dyck. otros no acaban de asimilar el engaño.
