Art -- Forgeries -- Juvenile literature.

Painting -- Appreciation -- Juvenile literature.

1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 29 cm.

Presents reproductions of famous art works alongside "forgeries." Readers are asked to play detective as they examine each painting closely, looking for the differences, while a small cartoon sleuth leads them through the paintings, uncovering technical and historical details that enhance readers' appreciation and knowledge.

Charlie the Sleuth, one of the greatest art detectives, is hot on the trail of a master art forger. His forgeries can't be distinguished from the original works of art, or can they? Charlie knows most famous works of art like the back of his hand and he quickly discovers that the forger has made a few mistakes. Can you find them too? Introduces great works of art by masters ranging from Michelangelo to Picasso, juxtaposing reproductions of each depicted piece beside "forgeries" that incorporate small historical and technical changes.

Picture puzzles.

Dürr, Julia, 1981-
