Re discovered Van Gogh goes on display
A brightly coloured painting with people wandering about outside a mill in Paris is not perhaps what you would imagine from a Van Gogh painting.
But according to experts at Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum the painting of a windmill has now been identified as the work of Van Gogh. According to them, the painting was completed in 1886.
It was bought 35 years ago by Dirk Hannema who founded the Museum de Fundatie where the painting has now gone on display. At the time, he believed it was a Van Gogh, but was discredited.
It is only now that he has been proved right.
