The Exact Spot Where Van Gogh Painted His Final Work Has Been Found

It’s not a field or a forest—it’s a roadside bank you can still stand in today.

For over a century, no one knew where this was painted.

Tree Roots

This is Tree Roots—likely the last painting he ever completed.

Painted in July 1890, just outside the village where he would die.
But where?

The exact hillside still exists. You can stand there today.

For decades, no one knew where it was.
The painting felt chaotic. Almost abstract.

It isn’t.
But what was the inspiration?

Then in 2020, Dutch researcher Wouter van der Veen found something unexpected.

A black-and-white postcard from around 1900.
