Hidden for a century, 'fake' is actually a Van Gogh
What is this about?
This short text gives an example of a successful replication of a Van Gogh's work of art “Sunset at Montmajour”. The painting was stored in an attic for a century because it was believed to be a fake. However, a new research, including analysis of the pigments in the paint and their discoloration (and also letters from Van Gogh), the Van Gogh Museum has changed its view.
