Instead, they focus on researching the artist\u2019s life and educating the public about his work using the museum\u2019s inventory. They seem to do an excellent job at this since the Van Gogh Museum is the most visited cultural institution in the Netherlands, attracting slightly more visitors than the Rijksmuseum. In breaking with museum policy, three specialists from the museum have recently discussed their findings regarding three works, which they regard as copies or forgeries of pre-existing Van Gogh paintings. Teio Meedendorp, Saskia van Oudheusden, and Louis van Tilborgh recently shared their conclusions with the British fine arts publication <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.burlington.org.uk\/current-issue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Burlington Magazine<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The first painting, <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Interior of a Restaurant<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, was originally believed to be a second version of a verified Van Gogh painting by some specialists. Van Gogh created the original, <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/cxgd3urn\/production\/675037296537b06c6e7dca2b23255bd38b91377b-1141x940.jpg?w=750&amp;h=618&amp;fit=crop&amp;auto=format\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Interior of the Grand Bouillon-Restaurant le Chalet, Paris<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, in 1887. The &#8220;second version&#8221;<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0would <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">not<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> appear in <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">any<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> documentary evidence <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">until<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> the 1950s.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> The museum experts say that the brushstroke pattern and the color palette are inconsistent with Van Gogh\u2019s work during his two years in Paris. Chemical tests on the painting also revealed traces of Manganese blue, a type of paint that would not become commercially available until 1935, forty-five years after the artist\u2019s death. Furthermore, the flowers decorating the restaurant tables are different. The museum specialists show that the red flowers in the original are autumn begonias, in season in France in November and December. They speculate that the copy\u2019s author was working from a black-and-white photograph and instead put sunflowers on the tables. Since sunflower season is in September, it does not make sense for Van Gogh to create the two paintings around the same time. This detail led Meedendorp, Van Oudheusden, and Van Tilborgh to determine that this was not simply a copy but a deliberate forgery. Sunflowers are closely linked with Van Gogh\u2019s work, and the forger was likely trying to make the painting more appealing to try to pass the painting off as an original to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The second painting is <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/d\/d3\/Vincent_van_Gogh_-_Head_of_a_Peasant_Woman-_Right_Profile_%281884%29.jpg\/800px-Vincent_van_Gogh_-_Head_of_a_Peasant_Woman-_Right_Profile_%281884%29.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Head of a Woman<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which the Van Gogh Museum previously authenticated as part of the estate of Gerbrand Visser. It was considered a product of Van Gogh\u2019s time in Nuenen, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/2024\/06\/dutch-museum-attempting-van-gogh-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">where he created a series of peasant portraits<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The painting later sold at Christie\u2019s New York in 2011, where it made $993.3K w\/p. Despite the museum\u2019s seal of approval, things became complicated after a different version of the same painting came to light in a French collection. After examining the painting again, the museum now concludes that <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Head of a Woman<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> is a copy created between 1902 and 1909 and that the French painting is Van Gogh\u2019s original. They note, however, that the copyist was likely working from the original rather than a photograph. Finally, the third painting is a watercolor of a peasant collecting wood. It is based on a larger painting <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/uploads1.wikiart.org\/images\/vincent-van-gogh\/wood-gatherers-in-the-snow-1884.jpg!Large.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wood Gatherers in the Snow,<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> which Van Gogh created in 1884. The copy, meanwhile, was probably made around 1904 and solely shows one of the original\u2019s several figures. The solo figure may not have caught the attention of some specialists since Van Gogh often created studies for later paintings using watercolor. Specialists theorize that the copyist may have been working from a photograph, as the colors are completely different, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/cxgd3urn\/production\/3f7eab26dc0eebcd514faca81c70964ba7ed3450-1890x2339.png?w=1920&amp;h=2376&amp;fit=crop&amp;auto=format\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">and several details <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">are omitted<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The leaves attached to the wood, a snow-covered farmhouse in the background, and the stick used to secure the wood bundle to the man\u2019s back have all disappeared.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The three disputed paintings have previously <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">been included<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> in Jacob-Baart de la Faille\u2019s 1970 Van Gogh catalogue raisonn\u00e9. Due to their inclusion, this attribution has held for over fifty years. However, this may be a learning opportunity for some collectors and specialists, as attributions are never completely set in stone. They can change as new information comes to light, and no single academic\u2019s word should <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">be taken<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> as gospel.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amsterdam\u2019s Van Gogh Museum is breaking its normal policy by commenting on the authenticity of three alleged Van Gogh paintings currently held in private collections.
