Van Gogh - An Undiscovered Work?

Filed under: — brandon @ 11:12 am

It looks like a new Van Gogh may have been discovered by a South Korean man:

He discovered he owned what he thinks is a real Van Gogh after looking at an art book and seeing a version of a similar painting.

Sur Byung-soo said, “My father got it from a foreigner, and he told me to take good care of it. That was all he said to me.”

Sur claim that this is the real painting and that the version in the Pushkin Museum in Russia would be a reproduction.

If this is indeed true, it wouldn’t be the first time a museum has displayed a reproduction of a painting that was thought to be the original.
