Redd's Fake Paintings (Spoilers)

Redd sold me a real painting today, and good lord, I was not going to pay 400,000 bells for one. Blathers is going to get started on museum expansion
 
Ooh, is that Vitruvian Man confirmed real? I had that one but thought it might have been a fake due to the coffee stain!! Ended up going with Ophelia instead, hope it will be real -- but if not, I can't wait to display it in my house!
OH! YES! The coffee stained Virtruvian IS fake! I doublechecked oh dear.

Real:

Fake:

Has a more worn out paper, has a coffee stain. Pose is not changed from the real one however.
 
Does Google Lens work on these paintings helping to find the differences? There are only a few I know the real names of. 😂

Yes. But probably not all.

I took a picture of the fake maid and Google was able to do a reverse image lookup and showed me the original, in which I could clearly tell the difference between the fake and real one.

Just tried with Blueboy, it worked too.
 
For me, my wistful painting (Girl with a pearl earring) was fake- her eyes were closed but everything else was the same. This is interesting since someone previously had her with star earrings!
 
Hi there, I didn't play NL and this is all new to me, does it matter if it's a fake? Like, won't Blathers accept it? Or is it just for you?
 
The warrior statue is fake if he's holding something.
I just had a terracotta warrior statue holding a shovel, but the original there is nothing in his hands.

oh wow, I don't know why but I didn't expect them to change it. I ain't even mad, should be kind of fun
 
We're definitely gonna need a new real VS fake guide. I really hope one of the spoiler tag paintings appears on the trawler when I first meet up with our favorite con man. That way I can get at least one genuine work of art donated...and that's assuming you have to give Blathers a piece of genuine art to get the expansion underway.

I spoke to him when I assessed today's haul of fossils (5th day in a row of no new discoveries and I know I'm missing several dinosaur parts still) so he's already told me he intends to build an art wing. Next step is to trigger the upgrade.
 
What do you do with fakes? Can't sell them and after a while they'll either fill up house or storage. I guess they can be dropped in a trash can... LOL
 
Hi, will you keep updating this post with more art? I have some screenshots i can share if they will become helpful:

Turns out I bought the same fake you did haha. I think that the woman looking back painting may be fake since in the original there is a small white piece of ribbon (or something) sticking out from the middle portion of her hair. I am not sure though.

Thank yoy for your contribution.
 
I cant go on Redds ship it says its shady looking. Do I have to wait til night?
 
No, he will be somewhere on your island.
Yeah I did that and he gave me the 5,000 bell painting. When I go to the secret beach I cant go in his ship. Do I have to wait til tmr to go in?

Weird. Have you donated the painting to Blathers yet? Maybe that's what triggers his boat as being legit..
