I ought to say that artistically I agree with Julie, and I don't care what the scholars think or say. I chose to not accept their verdict. This is often my way with Greek and Roman poems. If, after sufficient thought, I think their arguments, however fine spun, are inconclusive or just wrong, I will disagree. That's me.
I doubt that there is sufficient forensic evidence that Vermeer did not paint over the Cupid himself unless there is secure documentation that someone else did so. If that exists, so much the worse for art.
Show me the money.
