http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15328583 Vincent van Gogh did not kill himself, the authors of new biography Van Gogh: The Life have claimed. Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith say that, contrary to popular belief, it was more likely he was shot accidentally by two boys he knew who had "a malfunctioning gun". The authors came to their conclusion after 10 years of study with more than 20 translators and researchers. The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam called the claim "dramatic" and "intriguing". In a statement, however, curator Leo Jansen said "plenty of questions remain unanswered" and that it would be "premature to rule out suicide". I'd always been taught that he shot himself, but this version of events sounds plausible too. Either way, it's a real pity his talent was wasted like this .

it would certainly be a very interesting spin on how he died if they can definitively prove this! |
