In April 2020, during the first Covid-19 lockdown, Wouter van der Veen found himself at home with little to do other than sort through his extensive documentation relating to Van Gogh. While cataloguing some images, he was struck by the resemblance of Van Gogh’s last canvas, painted moments before he shot himself, to a postcard showing a roadside with tangled roots & trunks.

It proved to be the most spectacular Van Gogh-related finding of this century to date and spent weeks going viral across the globe. The original scan, as well as the colorized version intended to explain the discovery, were reproduced thousands of times in the most prestigious newspapers and websites all over the world.

It is difficult to imagine a more valuable NFT than this file, exclusively available at Van Gogh & Van Gogh through OpenSea.

It is published in a limited edition of 69 copies, one for every day Van Gogh spent in Auvers-sur-Oise, the village where his life came to a tragic end but his enduring fame was born.
