Van Gogh Painting is a Fake

Headofamansm

A painting attributed to Vincent Van Gogh for more than 70 years

was said to be a fake Friday, after art experts found it was probably painted by one his peers.

The director of Australia’s National Gallery of Victoria, Gerard Vaughan, said a specialist team at the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands found the painting had strong stylistic differences from the Dutch artist’s other works, and was mostly likely painted by one of his contemporaries.

The painting, “Head of a Man,” was brought to Australia in 1939 as part of a contemporary art exhibit owned by Keith Murdoch, father of media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
