Paul Gauguin, "Breton Fishermen"

Paul Gauguin, Breton Fishermen, 1888; Private Collection (Onyx Art Collection).

One of the main reasons there are so many false art images in circulation is that a large percentage of authentic artworks are in private collections, and therefore are rarely seen or photographed. With few verified photos available, art lovers end up selecting modern reproductions instead, thinking that they're probably fairly accurate (not true, unfortunately). Based on available evidence, the above photo is very likely an accurate depiction of this Gauguin painting, which is evidently on view at a high-end resort hotel in Bahía. Few direct photos exist.

The two reproductions below (possibly digitally manipulated photos) are a couple examples of ways in which users have altered the original coloring at random, in one case making everything blue and in the other obscuring detail with a yellow overlay. Note that one popular post has mistakenly titled the work "English Fishermen."
