A Van Gogh discovered under another Van Gogh

Written by Amitai Sasson on September 15, 2007

A lost Van Gogh has been found this month, Wild Vegetation, hidden under another painting. It was discovered in an x-ray of The Ravine, which Van Gogh painted on the same canvas four months later. The Van Gogh Museum said that the painting underneath the Ravine matches an actual drawing that they had from Van Gogh at the time.
