The “Head of Man” painting that was thought to be a Van Gogh worth 21.5 million is said to be a fake. The painting, which resides in an Australia gallery is thought to be by a contemporary of Van Gogh.
Looking at the painting, I just wanted to say “Well, duh, of course that isn’t Van Gogh”. First off, it’s thought to be a self portrait. Not only is it not Van Gogh’s painting style, there’s a very simple fact that the self portrait doesn’t even look like Van Gogh. Let that be a lesson to us all: If the self portrait doesn’t look like the painter, maybe you have the wrong artist.
