Amsterdam - 鈥楴ew鈥 Van Gogh discovered
Print Edition
Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum has unveiled a newly discovered landscape painting from the height of the Dutch master’s career, abandoned for years as a forgery in a Norwegian attic.
“Sunset at Montmajour,” a large oil landscape from 1888, was showcased to applause. Museum director Axel Rueger called it a “unique experience that has not happened in the history of the Van Gogh Museum.”
Depicting a landscape of oaks in the south of France, the painting was brought to the museum from a private collection.
Researchers set to work and authenticated it based on comparisons with Van Gogh’s techniques, style, paint used and a letter he wrote on July 4, 1888, in which he described the painting.
It had been lying for years in the attic of a Norwegian collector who thought the painting was a forgery, after buying it in 1908.
