He's been hiding in plain sight! 🎨
If you know anything about art, you've probably heard a few things about one Dutch painter named Vincent Van Gogh. The impressionist master's paintings of sunflowers and starry-skyed landscapes are recognised all over the world – as is his famous self-portrait after he cut off his own ear. So it goes without saying that the discovery of a previously unknown hidden self-portrait has art historians in a frenzy.
It's been discovered that behind the 1884 painting 'Head of a Peasant Woman' , there is a self-portrait of Van Gogh sporting a hat and neckerchief. The portrait was discovered completely by accident when the Royal Scottish Academy were cataloguing Van Gogh's artworks ahead of the academy's French Impressionism exhibit .
