It is arguably the best-known story in the history of art: Vincent van Gogh lops off part of his ear in a moment of insanity and drops it off at a brothel.
The facts behind how the artist mutilated himself and what happened next can now be told for the first time, according to experts, after crucial medical evidence was discovered.
A letter from Van Gogh’s doctor, Felix Rey, reveals that the painter did not remove just a section of his ear, after all, but severed it entirely.
And there is more...the girl in the brothel was not a prostitute..but a girl of 16 with the name Gaby or Gabriella often called Rachel who cleaned there..
He met her in Paris 1888 fell in love with her and followed her down to Arles..
Yes these Van Gogh researchers know their stuff alright..
