We are talking about the painting "still life with macrolane and tomatoes" from the Museum of Oscar Reinhart

the Picture was excluded from among the genuine works by van Gogh back in 2003. The experts did not like atypical brushwork and color palette used in the writing of still life, especially cool white, red and turquoise colors, which the author chose for the image of the fish and tomatoes.

the Painting, most likely, still continue their existence as "previously attributed to van Gogh", if not an exhibition "van Gogh: still life", opened in late October at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam.

the Attention of specialists was attracted by the floral still lifes of van Gogh, he worked in Paris in the years 1886-1887 and which the hand of the artist was confirmed relatively recently. In them, van Gogh uses the same color scheme and maybe the same paint for still life with macrolane. That allows to date the work, most likely, 1886.

Additional confidence in the authorship and gives the provenance of the still life: in 1899 it belonged to the famous publisher, connoisseur and art dealer Ambroise Vollard the the. And if he, after only 9 years after the artist's death, there was no doubt in the authorship, that modern professionals need to consider this fact.

While the process of retributio is still not finished, however, the Museum Oscar Reinhart claim that the pattern of attribution will be presented to the public in the near future.
