New Van Gogh Painting discovered- Ed Kumar 1st

Current event 2

                                                                                 Summary:
 More than 120 years after Vincent van Gogh's death, a new painting by the artist has been discovered.The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, announced Monday the discovery of the newly identified painting, a landscape titled "Sunset at Montmajour."Van Gogh  completed the  painting in 1888, two years before his death.The picture depicts a landscape in the vicinity of Arles in the south of France, where van Gogh was working at that time, the museum said.  Found in the attic of a citizen, this newly recovered artifact will add to the collection of timeless art.
Anaylsis:
This discovery seems too good to be true. Much like Tupac coming out with tracks even after his death, this new addition will spark a re-interest in Van Gogh, atleast for a while. It is good for the world to pay attention to classical works of art and embrace the history behind it. I think this new find  can only be a good thing.

  4. That's crazy, I wonder how it was hidden for so long and how they confirmed it was actually Van Gogh who painted it?
