    There was always debate about which painting was the artist’s last. For many years it was thought to be this painting, mainly because it featured in a 1930’s book and the 1956 film adaptation of that book. And the painting’s dark and gloomy subject matter seemed to perfectly encapsulate the last days of van Gogh, full of foreboding of his eventual death.
    But now, it is widely accepted that this unusual work is his last painting.
    The mystery of what it was and where it was painted would take over a century to solve, and that was only thanks to a worldwide epidemic.
    What it means is that we now have a deeper insight into what van Gogh’s final last hours were like - before his tragic death.
    Here is a very good article which explains more about the "murder" theory www.theartnewspaper.com/blog/...

    The simplest answer is often the correct one … and the best telling of a story is often the simplest; truthful and respectful, without embellishment or speculation. The complexity of his life and death speaks for itself. Thank you for this lovely, simple telling of his last days and work.

    Amazing Mr Payne. Of all the artists i have ever seen a documentary about, never before have i felt this kind of empathy for anyone. You showed me the world of Van Gogh, and i felt like it could swallow me whole. A life of agony and pain, and yet as a by-stander I can't help but feel a sense of ease and calm in the life at Auvers. Away from the city, among the sunny wheat fields, through the grooves. Slowly losing my mind and sanity, yet trying desperately to hold onto whatever sense of humanity that was left by filling blank canvas with a gorgeous blend of paint that conceals such an outburst of emotions and feelings. Thank You, Mr Payne. Had i not stumbled upon your channel, had you not created such a channel, i would have forever been deprived from this joy of art. ❤

    That last painting happens to be one of my favorite Van Gogh’s. I see himself and humans in that painting intertwined in those roots. They look to me like human shapes and he had always seen trees as alive and trying to thrive like us. Tangled, both in life and death. He was misunderstood, but I can understand him through that painting and many others. Thank you!

    Thank you for another excellent video - I had no idea this breakthrough about his last painting had been made. But what I especially treasure with your essays is the way you contextualise the artistic work, in this case both in Van Gogh's previous paintings and letters and the way Japanese art influenced him. It's so sad neither brother got to live a full life. There was so much love there. They made the most of the time they got, and they will not be forgotten. I desperately wish I had the means to sign up for your travel trip. I expect you will all have a wonderful time.

    Brilliant as ever. Vincenct van Gogh's trees and flowers are my favourite. Like the pink peach tree or almond blossom.

    Art is not a craft, it is the transmission of the feeling experienced by the artist,congratulations from Romania🇷🇴

      Years ago ('96), standing in front of a Van Gogh in the National Gallery in London, I was shocked to find tears streaming down my face; I was staring at one of Vincent's grouping of sunflowers! So, what you say is true: Somehow, what he was going through, his intensity of feeling, was THERE in this benign painting... waiting for an unsuspecting viewer... and grief washed over me as I innocently took it in.

    I love that it’s still possible to learn and discover more about Van Gogh. I didn’t think of Tree Roots as a particularly interesting painting of his compared with others but now it takes on a greater meaning
