The headline: "Schätzung eines älteren Gemäldes eines ausländischen Künstlers", (in english):Estimated
value on an old picture from a foreign art painter, in it self, is
misleading when looking upon the full text in the letter. What Mr
Mesesnel really does is quite different, namely he talkes about the
value of genuine Gauguin painting in that he says: (quote) “Unter
Berücksichtigung der Marktlage schätze ich, dass das gegenständliche
Bild als Original auf dem Europäischen Markt einen Wert von DM
7.000.000 (i W sieben Millionen) hat bzw. den entsprechenden Gegenwert
in der nationalen Wärung“, (in english): As
a genuine Gauguin, I estimate that the value, had it been a real
Gauguin, would, to the best of my knowledge, bring about DM
7.000.000, when put for sale at an auction . artfakes.dk
conclusion: As
to the letter there is no doubt in our minds that professor Mesesnel
has done his best to give a thru "picture" of what he has
observed, that is that these particular pictures come from an époque
known as the post-impressionistic period and also that the picture is
painted in the style of Gauguin probably from some
unknown artist at that time, who tried to copy the master’s hand. We
do not say that this is done with the purpose of trying to
cheat somebody. Nowadays many famous artists are copied from pupils of
art, and this is quite a normal procedure learning to become an
artist, surging and hopefully finding one’s own style. |

2005 from The City Museum of Ljubljana (quote):
Dear
Mr Preben Juul Madsen,
We
received your e-mail regarding the confirmation of two paintings
being genuine works by Paul Gauguin written by Mr Janez Mesesnel. As
he wrote the confirmation as an independent expert and not as an
employee of The city museum of Ljubljana we advise you to contact him
directly about this matter.
Best
regards,
Urša
