The authenticity of Vincent van Gogh's "Sunflowers" series has been the subject of debate among experts for many years. In 2020, a team of researchers from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam conducted an in-depth analysis of the paintings, including X-ray and infrared imaging. They discovered that one of the works, "Sunflowers with Irises," contained a hidden portrait of a woman beneath the surface of the painting. This discovery has sparked renewed interest in the authenticity of the series, with some experts arguing that it is evidence of van Gogh's experimentation with different techniques and styles, while others suggest that it may be indicative of a larger forgery scandal involving multiple works by the artist.
