Description¶

This page offers information on how to spot Crazy Redd’s fake art. Not all artworks have a counterfeit version, so if it isn’t listed below, then you can safely assume that you’re buying the authentic art piece.

Paintings¶

Academic Painting¶

This painting is inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man. The fake is easily
recognizable as there are significant coffee stains in the top right of the painting.

Amazing Painting¶

This painting is inspired by Rembrandt’s The Night Watch. The fake version is a little hard to spot, but the man with the red sash has no hat in the counterfeit.

Basic Painting¶

The Basic Painting is inspired by Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy. In the counterfeit piece, the boy has full bangs, whereas in the original he only has a little hair covering his forehead.

Detailed Painting¶

The Detailed Painting is based on Rooster and Hen with Hydrangeas by Itō Jakuchū. The counterfeit is easy to spot as the hydrangeas will be purple instead of blue.

Famous Painting¶

The Famous Painting is inspired by Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. In the counterfeit, Mona Lisa has sharp, angular eyebrows.

Graceful Painting¶

The Graceful Painting is inspired by Beauty Looking Back by Hishikawa Moronobu. The counterfeit piece is recognisable because the woman is larger and takes up more of the painting than the woman in the authentic piece.

Jolly Painting¶

The Jolly Painting is inspired by Guiseppe Arcimboldo’s Summmer. The counterfeit version is quite a good one as the only difference is a missing artichoke bud on the person’s chest.

Moving Painting¶

The Moving Painting is based on The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli. The fake is recognizable by its lack of trees in the background of the painting.

Quaint Painting¶

The Quaint Painting is based on The Milk Maid by Johannes Vermeer. The counterfeit piece is distinguishable by giant glug of milk coming from the maid’s jug. The authentic painting only has a small drip of milk coming out of the jug.

Scary Painting¶

The Scary Painting is based on Ōtani Onji the 3rd as Yakko Edobei BY Toshusai Sharaku. The fake is recognizable because of the upturned, sad eyebrows, whilst the authentic painting shows a man with angry eyebrows.

Serene Painting¶

The Serene Painting is inspired by Da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine. In the fake version, the ermine (ferret) is grey, whilst in the authentic piece, it is white.

Solemn Painting¶

This painting is based on Las Meninas by Diego Velaquez. In the fake painting, the small man in the painting in the background has his arm raised higher than in the authentic version. This is a tricky one to spot, so using these pictures as a comparison to a version in your game is advised.

Wistful Painting¶

This painting is inspired by Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring. In the counterfeit, the earring is star-shaped and not a pearl earring. There is also another fake where the woman’s eyes are closed.
