On 29 July 1890 Vincent van Gogh passed away

Vincent-van-Gogh_Tree-Roots

Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890), Tree Roots, 1890. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam (Vincent van Gogh Foundation).

On 29 July 1890 Vincent van Gogh passed away. The painting ‘Tree Roots’ stood on his easel when he died. Many people believe that the more dramatic ‘Wheatfield with Crows’ is Van Gogh’s final work. The painting 'Tree Roots'  is a much likelier candidate, however, as he was unable to complete it, which helps explain its irregular, unfinished character. Theo’s brother-in-law, Andries Bonger, described it as follows in a letter: ‘The morning before his death, he had painted an underwood [sous-bois], full of sun and life.’
