Who is Jacob Baart de la Faille? An evergreen, sourced profile: biography, key facts and career.
Jacob Baart de la Faille (1 June 1886 – 7 August 1959) was a Dutch art historian and jurist best known for compiling the first catalogue raisonné of the work of Vincent van Gogh, published in 1928. The catalogue was revised and republished by an editorial committee in 1970, and this version is considered to be the definitive catalogue of van Gogh's work. His catalogue numbers are preceded by an "'F": thus The Starry Night is designated F612. Shortly after the publication of the original catalogue, de la Faille became involved in a major fraud affair concerning the Berlin art dealer Otto Wacker. De la Faille had certified the authenticity of 30 paintings which were later determined to be fakes.
