An art research company believes that the so far unknown painting is from Van Gogh. However, the Museum of the famous Dutch painter has not yet recognized her.
A painting by the famous artist Vincent Van Gogh, hitherto unknown, was identified after an extensive analysis of four years, according to experts from the art research company LMI Group International.
The picture, a portrait of a fisherman, was bought in a garage sale in Minnesota in 2016 by only 50 dollars Before being confirmed as an authentic part of Van Gogh, valued at about $ 15 million.
Experts determined that Van Gogh painted the artwork in 1889while hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital in southern France. Using advanced techniques to study the screen plot, the composition of pigments and the historical context, the researchers verified their authenticity.
The painting, which measures 45.7 by 41.9 centimeters, has a elderly fisherman with white beardsmoking a pipe while repairing your network. It is believed to be Van Gogh’s interpretation of a work by Danish artist Michael Ancher, says.
One of the most important details of the artwork is an inscription that says “elimar” in the lower right corner. In addition, the researchers discovered a human hair embedded on the screenAlthough attempts to correspond to their DNA to Van Gogh’s descendants have not been successful due to their degraded state.
“By integrating science and technology with traditional knowledge tools, historical context, formal analysis and research research, we intend expand and adapt available resources For the authentication of works of art based on the unique properties of the works to our care, ”says Lawrence M. Shindell, president and executive director of LMI Group.
Despite this, the Van Gogh Museum of Amsterdam not officially recognized the frame. The museum previously refused to assign the play A Van Gogh when approached by a previous owner in 2018. However, LMI is still confident in its discoveries, stating that Van Gogh was known to have lost or donated many of his works, which he does with that such discoveries are not entirely surprising.
Painting is considered a deeply personal work of Van Gogh’s last chapter of life. The artist, who suffered from mental illness, was known for his prolific production, producing about 900 paintings before his tragic suicide death in 1890 at the age of 37.
