A lost portrait lies beneath Vincent van Gogh’s Patch of Grass. Using X-rays produced by a particle accelerator, researchers mapped chemical elements inside the paint—and recovered the image of an unidentified peasant woman without removing the visible painting. Van Gogh painted Patch of Grass in Paris between April and June 1887. Beneath its bright greens, yellows, blues and reds is an earlier portrait associated with his darker Nuenen period. The two images preserve one of the most dramatic transformations in Van Gogh’s career on a single canvas. In this evidence-led art history documentary, we examine: • What conventional X-rays first revealed beneath Patch of Grass • Why the earlier radiograph could not clearly separate the paint layers • How DORIS III at DESY produced the X-rays used in the investigation • How synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence mapping works • Why mercury and antimony helped researchers reconstruct the hidden face • Why the reconstruction is not an ordinary photograph • What the evidence can—and cannot—tell us about the unidentified woman • How the canvas connects Van Gogh’s dark Nuenen period with his brighter Paris experiments • Why canvas reuse should not be treated as proof of a secret or conspiracy The woman’s identity has not been securely established. There is no reliable evidence that she was Gordina de Groot, Van Gogh’s lover, or someone he deliberately wanted history to forget. The scientific reconstruction shows pigment distributions associated with the buried composition; it does not recover her name or prove Van Gogh’s reason for reusing the canvas. ONE CANVAS.

In this visual essay, we explore the story of how a team of experts used cutting-edge technology, including X-ray and synchrotron radiation at the DESY particle accelerator, to reveal a hidden portrait that Van Gogh had tried to conceal. The painting, part of the collection at the Kröller-Müller Museum, held secrets that were only accessible through the latest advancements in science and art. By combining technical art history with innovative methods of painting analysis, the team was able to uncover hidden details in the painting, shedding new light on Van Gogh's work and artistic intentions. This art history documentary takes you on a journey to the Kroller Muller Museum and Van Gogh's Paris, exploring the intersection of art and science, and the meticulous process of painting conservation. Discover how the use of X-ray art and other techniques helped to unravel the mystery of Van Gogh's hidden portrait, a Patch of Grass that held more than met the eye. Through this compelling story, we illustrate the significance of visual essays in understanding the nuances of art, the importance of painting symbolism, and the thrill of solving a museum mystery that had puzzled art enthusiasts for years.
