It should be remarked that the painting with (!) the cat visible is most likely a fake or imitation produced shortly after Vincent's death. Various notable studies have been conducted on this issue. 30.06.2009. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.34.73.3 (talk) 10:21, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • I know especially of this book called "Die verschwundene Katze" (The cat that disappeared). It is a scientific study about Vincent's life and especially in regard to these two paintings. The painting with the cat visible is believed to be copied by the collector Emile Schuffenecker, one of Vincent's friends. As Vincent in one of his letters explicitely mentions the cat, Schuffenecker's plan was to use the cat to mark his painting undoubtfully as "genuine". Unfortunately this book is available in German only (ISBN 978-3-905800-29-6, Echtzeit Verlag). 30.06.2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.34.73.3 (talk) 08:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

stub class

[edit]

A third painting, in-line references and some background information has been provided to this article. Is it still considered stub class?--CaroleHenson (talk) 17:01, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tea-towel

[edit]

A book review by Ben Street in the October 18, 2024 issue of TLS states, in its penultimate paragraph, that, "awaiting a shipment of new canvases, he [Van Gogh] just couldn't wait to get going" and did a painting on a tea towel. "The tea-towel Van Gogh" is "Daubigny's Garden.'" The book under review is How Painting Happens (and why it matters), by Martin Gayford. Here is a link to the review: https://www.the-tls.co.uk/arts/visual-arts/story-of-drawing-susan-owens-how-painting-happens-martin-gayford-book-review-ben-street

The first two versions of "Daubigny's Garden" on the right of Daubigny's Garden say "oil on canvas," but the third one does not specify the medium. I googled images of "Daubigny's Garden" and looked at the photos of the third one. One photo calls it a "wood print," but none of the others I checked identify the medium. The Van Gogh Museum, where it resides, states "oil on canvas." That means that, if Gayford, as cited by the review, is correct, then any one of the three could be the tea-towel version. Obviously, I lack the information to edit Daubigny's Garden, but perhaps someone else wants to take it from here. Maurice Magnus (talk) 21:14, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
