On 27 July 1890, hours before shooting himself, Van Gogh is thought to have painted Tree Roots, his last painting. After years of research, a group of specialists, including curators from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, located the spot on an embankment on Rue Daubigny, just behind the Daubigny museum. An association has opened it to the public: a path that linked the village with the wheat fields, hidden for 130 years.
