VIDEO: 1890 Van Gogh Painting Now on Display in Washington, D.C.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – “Green Wheat Fields, Auvers” by Vincent Van Gogh is now on display for the first time since 1966 at the National Gallery of Art.

The Dutch master’s sweeping work of art is believed to have been painted in France, just weeks before Van Gogh’s suicide in 1890.

It belonged to Van Gogh’s brother, Theo, before being sold to a German collector whose son sold it to Paul Mellon in 1955. It remained in the Mellon’s Virginia home, until now.

The public last saw it during an exhibition devoted to works owned by the Mellon family in 1966.
