Van Gogh Painting
previously unknown painting by Vincent Van Gogh was found in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The work, which depicts trees, bushes and the sky was many years in the attic in the house of the Norwegian private collector. Museum experts who studied the painting, when its owner decided to find out whose hands this work, precisely defined the style and materials of great hudozhnika.
This is the first full-size painting of Van Gogh, discovered in 1928. Museum director Axel Ruger said that such a discovery "once in a lifetime." Experts also set the date of its creation - July 4th, 1888, as the artist has described exactly the picture in his letter to bratu.
After that, when the work was sold in 1901 to an unknown buyer, she disappeared and was found again in the estate of the Norwegian industrialist Nicholas Mastada after his death in 1970. The French ambassador in Sweden visited the reservoir shortly before his death and said that the picture is likely a fake. As a result, Mastad took a picture on cherdak.
After his death, the family contacted a collector of Van Gogh Museum in 1991 to check the authenticity of the picture, but received a reply that it does not belong to the artist's brush.
