A Fragonard discovered by Carritt

... that David Carritt was "responsible for more sensational discoveries in the field of Old Master painting since World War II than any other man"? Source: "David Carritt, the English art historian, critic and dealer who was responsible for more sensational discoveries in the field of Old Master painting since World War II than any other man" (and [1], or briefly cite, the source)

ALT1:... that David Carritt discovered a Fragonard misattributed at auction, a van der Weyden in a cottage, a Tiepolo on an Egyptian embassy ceiling, and five Guardis rolled up in a Dublin shed? Source: too many places to quote, but all can by found on the ONDB page or NYT obit.

Both ok, offline source, though I know all of ALT1 (except the Guardis) to be correct. New, long & neutral enough. Hooks refed. GTG. I slightly prefer ALT1. Johnbod (talk) 04:05, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
