Ludwig Burchard
Ludwig Burchard was a German art historian whose controversial attributions of paintings to Peter Paul Rubens have come under scrutiny, particularly after his death in 1960. He is notably linked to the painting 'Samson and Delilah,' which was attributed to Rubens only after it was found by him in 1929, a claim that has since faced significant skepticism from modern scholars.
