Science + Art = New van Gogh Painting
Posted by jessica

vanGogh.jpgA new Vincent van Gogh painting has been discovered—underneath another van Gogh painting. Patch of Grass, the artist’s 1887 landscape that was painted over the hidden portrait of a woman is housed at the Kroller-Muller Museum in the city of Otterlo, Netherlands, according to NPR.

Van Gogh recycled his own canvases, as do many artists, which made the portrait visible through x-ray technology. The portrait was discovered by scientists at the University of Antwerp in Belgium and Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Check out the NPR story to watch a video that takes you inside the x-ray process.
