Place of Van Gogh's final painting found in France

The exact location of the final work by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh has been pinpointed after being hidden in plain view among a tangle of roots next to a rural lane near Paris.  Experts believe it gives them new insights into the anguished painter's mental state on the day he is widely believed to have shot himself. A faded picture postcard featuring a man standing next to a bicycle on a back street of the village of Auvers-sur-Oise, 35 kilometers north of Paris, led a Dutch researcher to the location of Van Gogh's final work' "Tree Roots". The discovery, by Wouter van der Veen, the scientific director of the French-based Van Gogh Institute, provides a new glimpse of the artist in his final hours.
