The Woman Behind the Patch of Grass
I admit, I sometimes get scared to some abstract things that seem to form a haunting figure. I think somebody might have seen something in one of Van Gogh’s paintings. I have not seen the painting itself, but I believe there are some people who insist that there is more to the “Patch of Grass” that Van Gogh has painted. They got it right this time.
According to an MSNBC article, the hidden portrait is that of a mysterious woman. This was not the first time that scientists had uncovered a mysterious portrait from a Van Gogh painting. They used “synchrotron radiation induced X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy” to reveal those concealed layers of paintings. The “Patch of Grass” was rendered in greens and blues, but with the use of this technology, the hidden portrait of a woman is done in browns and reds. Mercury and antimony were useful in revealing the face behind the painting. This was not the first time that scientists had discovered mysterious woman portraits in Van Gogh paintings.
