Sunset at Montmajour is an
oil painting on canvas, depicting a landscape of
garrigue with the ruins of
Montmajour Abbey in the background, painted by Dutch
post-impressionist artist
Vincent van Gogh in 1888, when he lived in
Arles, France, and inventoried by
his brother Theo. It had several owners and was eventually purchased in 1908 by the Norwegian industrialist Christian Nicolai Mustad, who placed it in storage when told it was not actually by van Gogh. It was only reestablished as part of
the artist's oeuvre in 2013, the first full-sized Van Gogh painting to be newly confirmed since 1928.Painting:
