Montmaru's Sunset on Montmarjul is a painting by Van Gogh, a Dutch post-impressionist master, in 1888, and it is collected in Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Experts made textual research on the author's letters, the use of pigments and the painting style, and finally restored the true identity of the painting. This painting belongs to an unidentified collector. Authentic A landscape painting "Sunset on Montague" created by Van Gogh, a Dutch impressionist master, in 1888 was appraised as authentic by Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. For more than a century, Monmaru's work Sunset has been labeled as a fake, circulated several times, and even once abandoned in the attic, covered with thick dust. After two years' inspection and appraisal of paints and canvases, they confirmed that Sunset in Montmaru is a genuine work by Van Gogh. At the unveiling ceremony, this painting was initially identified as a fake mainly because it didn't have Van Gogh's signature, but Van Gogh mentioned this landscape painting in two letters written by Al in the summer of 1888. The day after the painting was completed, Van Gogh expressed his disappointment with the painting in a letter to his brother Theo: "This painting is far from meeting my expectations." This also explains why Van Gogh didn't sign the painting. On September 9th, 20 13 local time, the Van Gogh Museum held a sunset unveiling ceremony in Montmaru. This is the first full-scale Van Gogh work discovered after 1928. At the unveiling ceremony, Axel Rueger, curator of the museum, called it "a great discovery once in a lifetime". 20 13 On September 24th, this work will be exhibited in Van Gogh Museum. The staff of Van Gogh Museum didn't say how much the painting was worth. But now the price of Van Gogh's paintings on the market has exceeded 50 million dollars.
