NEW hidden Van Gogh self-portrait FOUND

A Vincent Van Gogh self-portrait probably never seen before was discovered at an art gallery in Scotland – accidentally – through an X-ray machine. 

The remarkable piece was found at the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh in preparation for an exhibit at the Royal Scottish Academy. Art conservators were examining Van Gogh's 1885 piece "Head of a Peasant Woman," and when an X-ray machine was used on it, the portrait was revealed on the back of the painting. 

"Moments like this are incredibly rare. We have discovered an unknown work by Vincent van Gogh, one of the most important and popular artists in the world. What an incredible gift for Scotland," Frances Fowle, senior curator of French art at the gallery, said in a statement. - See Video Below or Read Full Article- Click Here
