Art Article: VAN GOGH PAINTING



Newly Discovered Van Gogh painting kept in Norwegian attic for years
            A newly discovered Van Gogh painting was found in a Norwegian attic.  It has been there for years.  It was first by Christian Nicolai Mustad in 1908.  The French ambassador to Sweden came to look at the painted and he told Mustad that it must be a fake.  So Mustad put the painting in his attic and forgot about it.    
            Mustad died in1970.  The Van Gogh painting had been rejected twice and been called a fake.  But a letter was found and it was a letter written by Van Gogh describing the painting.  The painting is a really Van Gogh piece and an anonymous has it and will be displaying it in museums for all to see.
            If I was Mustad I would have gotten the painting looked at by professionals and I would have to be absolutely positive that it was fake to sell it or something.  But if I ever found out it was real I’d sell it for thousands of dollars.
