A previously unknown oil painting by Dutch master Vincent Van Gough which was bought at a garage sale in Minnesota for just $50 has been verified as authentic by experts

During Vincent van Gogh’s year-long stay in a French asylum, he created some 150 paintings—including Irises and The Starry Night. He also painted many interpretations of other artists’ work, calling them “translations.

A red hair — the color of van Gogh’s locks — was found embedded in the paint, which was proven to be from early 19th century France.
