West and the Venetian Secret In 1796 the president of the Royal Academy of Arts in London fell victim to a remarkable fraud that made him and other prominent British artists the laughingstock of the art world: the supposed discovery of a manuscript describing the materials and techniques used by the Venetian masters.
