It's Fun to Know: Spot the Fake

So you've inherited a Van Gogh from your great uncle Frank. But you're pretty sure it's a fake. Now there's a new way to tell.

Painstaking research and examination by an art expert has been the standard for detecting forgeries. But a technique developed by scientists at Penn State uses technology to scan an artist's known paintings and break down their unique brushstrokes - in essence, their "handwriting" - into digital information. The information is then stored in a database, where it can be compared to possible fakes. The technology is still in the testing phase, but its creators hope to make it available to art historians in the near future.
