Researcher pinpoints location of Van Gogh's last painting
Read full article: Researcher pinpoints location of Van Gogh's last painting(Van Gogh Museum via AP)AUVERS-SUR-OISE AUVERS-SUR-The exact location where Dutch master Vincent van Gogh painted his last work has been pinpointed after being hidden in plain view for years among a tangle of roots next to a rural lane near Paris. Van Gogh spent the last weeks of his life in the village and completed dozens of paintings there. The discovery by Wouter van der Veen, scientific director of the Van Gogh Institute in France, provides a new glimpse of the artist in his final hours. It means art historians can now see that Van Gogh worked on the painting until the end of the afternoon, meaning he spent much of the day concentrating on the canvas. They travel a lot just for one reason to walk in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh and now they can stand at the very place where he painted his last painting," Van der Veen said.

(Arthur Brand via AP)THE HAGUE A Dutch art sleuth has received proof-of-life photos of a Vincent van Gogh painting stolen in late March from a Dutch museum that was closed at the time because of the coronavirus. The second photo shows the back of the painting with a sticker bearing the name Vincent van Gogh, the dates 1853-1890 and handwritten text including the name of the painting in Dutch. Van Gogh worked on it when he had moved back to his family in a rural area of the Netherlands and painted the life he saw there, including his famous work The Potato Eaters, in mostly somber tones. He speculated that the March theft was a copycat of the 2002 theft from the Van Gogh Museum.
