In Amsterdam found a new van Gogh painting

A previously unknown painting by Vincent van Gogh found in the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Work that shows trees, bushes and sky, was many years in the attic in the house of a Norwegian private collector. Museum experts who examined the painting when her owner decided to find out whose brush this work pinpointed the style and materials of the famous artist.



This is the first full-size canvas by van Gogh, which was discovered in 1928. Museum Director Axel Ruger said that this discovery "only happens once". Scientists also determined the date of its creation — July 4, 1888, as the artist was exactly described it in his letter to his brother.
After the work was sold in 1901 to an unknown buyer, she disappeared and re-found it in the estate of Norwegian industrialist Nicolai Mustad after his death in 1970. The French Ambassador to Sweden visited the collector shortly before his death and said that the picture is probably a fake. In the end, Mustad took the picture in the attic.



After his death, the family of collector contacted the van Gogh Museum in 1991 to verify the authenticity of the picture, but received the answer that it belongs to the brush of the artist.
