​Hidden Van Gogh self-portrait discovered

“Believed to be a first for a UK institution, the mysterious image was revealed by an x-ray taken when we examined Van Gogh’s Head of a Peasant Woman of 1885 ahead of our exhibition A Taste for Impressionism. Visitors will be able to see the amazing x-ray image for the first time through a specially crafted lightbox at the centre of the display. Hidden from view for over a century, the self-portrait is on the back of the canvas with Head of a Peasant Woman and is covered by layers of glue and cardboard.  ...”
