This is a typical newspaper article - written clearly incompetent, biased, confusing, teeming with inaccuracies ... Now you know how I feel about the press
But anyway, I think, I wonder about the story, I did not know - or have forgotten, here, see:


«Sud-Ouest», 12.01.

Thirteenth December 2003 painting, titled "Pahari", attributed to Van Gogh and exhibited at the auction in the Porte (the Gironde region) with an initial price of EUR 2 million was withdrawn from the auction. Four potential buyers have already confirmed their intentions. But the concise review of Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, which challenged the authorship of the artist, was taken up by all the media and caused the cancellation of trades. French justice has refused to make a decision in this conflict, the owner of the picture with the Amsterdam museum, pleaded incompetent, so the owner decided to work to take the risk - the picture will be auctioned in the coming weeks.

Positive results of examinations

Since that day in 1991 when he dug up this picture at a flea market in Montreuil ( a suburb of Paris - a half-savage, flea market, which sells weight of stolen goods, he does not like good-looking and very expensive - that it infested Nemeshaev fakes - "official" flea market in Klinyankure ), Pierre Lyamperer preferred to remain in the shadows - presumably out of fear that it has to be approaching all sorts of crooks. "I have always believed in this picture. I have nothing to lose. Now I will defend my picture "- says that fifty former bodyguard of one of the Paris museums. He left the capital and settled in the region of Bordeaux, where he lives modestly, carrying out various minor works.

He did a great documentary work. Everyone - the correspondence of Van Gogh, and inventory of his works, and polimetrologicheskoe study of pigments used, and physical-chemical analysis of the paint layer painting, and numerous examination by historians of art laboratories and well-known technical experts - confirms his hypothesis. There is no single element that would forbid take this picture, stored in a bank vault, one of 700 works by Van Gogh. Date of establishment of this oil on the board coincides with the period of the life of Van Gogh used dyes and binders are characteristic of his work. Signed "Vincent" is checked for damp and means of modern painting.

Number 276

In 2007, Pierre Lyamperer made the examination in the laboratory, equipped with optical instruments, able to enlighten the paint layer. This technique allows to identify the invisible parts. During the examination on the back of thoron "Plowman" tread the serial number in quotation marks, affixed with a pencil. "When designing an enlarged image of the numbers on the screen, clearly visible in the figures is the number for 276" - says Lyamperer - "perhaps that number is just the missing link, as it opened Benoit Lyande known but not universally recognized expert on Van -Gog.

What is the opening Lyande? He made a documentary analysis and found in one of the inventories of works of Van Gogh, the word "Pahari" numbered 276. Registers Marchand Tanguy and Durand-Ruelle, who works Van Gogh were deposited in 1890, after his suicide, also featured the inscription "panels". This is the last mention of this painting, after them - more than a century gap. Van Gogh Museum acknowledges that the picture, appearing at number 276, "can not be determined with precision. However, the museum's experts argued that the two other works of Van Gogh s can meet these "Plowman. Benoit Lyande not agree: the characters written in these two works are in American museums, did not plow and dig.

Laconic reviews

The painting, owned by Pierre nahodyascheayasya Lyamperera, belongs to the Dutch period Vah Gogh. It was written in 1883 or 1884 in the region of Drenthe, where the artist came to meet with farmers' field work. In his letters he often wrote that he wants to study the plows. He told me that oversees labor tillers. Soon, he sent his brother Theo in Paris parcel with three small panels and nine watercolors. Extra touch: digging in the archives of the Van Gogh Museum, Lyamperer found the preparatory drawings for the scene with laborers. They depict two horses' heads, quite similar to those depicted in the work of interest to us. Following the discovery of atomic number 276 Pierre Lyamperer turned into a museum with a request to make a comparative analysis of the handwriting of the rooms and other rooms, affixed in the preparation of the inventory Bongera. At this time the museum he simply did not answer. But within fifteen years, experts of the museum does not stint on the laconic, but always negative reviews - "a fake, made quite a clever artist," "too short and insufficiently strong smear" - the picture they saw in just one day.

Sell a painting of Van Gogh without the approval of the Amsterdam museum is difficult. At the same time, the museum object to his views were taken for examination, apparently for fear of lawsuits. On several occasions this museum was forced to remove paintings from the exhibition, which turned out false. Pierre Lyamperer also does not give up and insisted: "Everything fits together - color, brushstrokes, texture ... This picture painted Van Gogh! ". He fears that the museum might prevent the sale paintings: "Either they are not expressed, and therefore give tacit consent, or they must submit to the court, in which case they will have to respond in detail to my aogumenty, but that's about it, I failed asks them for many years.
