Never, Never, So

 

.. And speaking of fakes! No doubt people will recall the time Vincent van Gogh spent in Halifax in the early 1870s, and his fondness of the view from Greetland overlooking the Calder Valley towards Wainhouse Tower. This painting of his dates from that time. I know what you skeptics are going to say: "the tower wasn't completed until 1875". Van Gogh had such an imagination, however.

    I do like the painting though. We travelled to see the museum in the Netherlands devoted to Van Gogh's paintings and they were displayed in chronological order. Fascinating.
