Re-discovered Van Gogh Painting Re-painted

Secone Life Art: neo impressionistic oil painting by Briex, re-painted after a work originally made by Vincent van Gogh titled: Meadow Flowers and Roses in Paris. A work Van Gogh made for his academy training in Paris. Today, March 20, 2012 this painting will be officially proclaimed as a genuine Van Gogh, after five years of investigations and studies. With fine X-rays, scientists have discovered an early academic under painting, depicting 2 x wrestlers with nuded torsos. That scene was mentioned in one of Van Gogh's many letters to his brother Theo, who stayed in Holland. It was quiet common that Van Gogh repainted earlier canvasses.

The original Van Gogh painting is for display at the Dutch museum Kröller Müller (http://www.kmm.nl). The news in English: http://www.kmm.nl/news/307/Flower-still-life-by-Vincent-van-Gogh-rediscovered-

This 1000 x 810 mm size re-painting is now for sale as print via my Fine Art America website »
