AMSTERDAM — There were 35 known self-portraits of Vincent van Gogh in the world. That appears to have changed this week.

“To that number, we can add now another picture,” Louis van Tilborgh, a senior curator at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, said on Thursday.

The National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, with the support of the Van Gogh Museum, announced that it had discovered what seemed to be a new van Gogh self-portrait, hidden on the back of another work by the Dutch artist and covered up by cardboard.

“It’s tremendously exciting,” said Frances Fowle, a senior curator of French art at the National Galleries. “It’s like getting a new painting for the collection.”

Fowle said no one had actually seen the self-portrait, because it cannot be viewed with a naked eye. Source

That'd be an issue more likely to be solved when they find new prehistoric mummies or esoteric artefacts from the past. :cyanlights:
