About Dirk Hannema
- Dirk Hannema (16 September 1895 – 7 July 1984) was a controversial museum director and art collector.
- The Museum Boijmans flourished under his directorship, but he was also arrested and interned for eight months for his conduct during the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II.
- Further, his reputation was severely damaged when he inaccurately attributed various forgeries to the painter Johannes Vermeer, among others.
- However, a quarter century after his death, he was at least partially vindicated when Le Blute-Fin Mill, a painting he had championed (to universal scorn) as a van Gogh, was finally authenticated as being by the renowned painter.
