 Van Meegeren did not sell these paintings; both are now at the Rijksmuseum.Following a journey to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, van Meegeren painted "The Supper at Emmaus" using the ultramarine blues and yellows preferred by Johannes Vermeer and other Dutch Golden Age painters.The experts assumed that Vermeer had studied in Italy, so van Meegeren used by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio located at Italy's Pinacoteca di Brera as a model.
