参考解析：

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后三句“Similarly, the art world was influenced by a famous art historian, Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeer’s best works.

At the time, this made it difficult to criticize the paintings or suggest that they were fakes.”可知，艺术界也受到著名艺术史学家威廉·冯·博德的影响，他说这些赝品是维米尔最好的作品之一。由于他备受推崇，其他专家开始称赞这些“新发现”。这使得人们很难批评这些画，或者说它们是赝品。故选A。
