Can a work of art that is not predated be considered a forgery?
Lessing would argue that the origin of origination for the art work doesn't matter because pure aesthetics cannot explain forgery. However because the origin of this work is unknown it cannot be considered a forgery. A critic wouldn't be able to tell what period it was made from. So therefore it would have to be compared to works that are similar in style. But what does forgery matter in art for anyway?
