This-- That remains disputed.
Jared PolinHOST
What happened during his final forty-eight? Van Gogh was staying at the Auberge Ravoux, Ravoux, a small inn in Auvers-sur-Oise, roughly thirty kilometers north of Paris.
Jared PolinHOST
That morning, he painted the Tree Roots, a work depicting tangled tree trunks and exposed roots on a hillside.
Jared PolinHOST
He returned to his inn with a gunshot wound.
Jared PolinHOST
We know that just six months later.
Jared PolinHOST
He was 33 years old from syphilis.
Jared PolinHOST
How'd you get syphilis if you weren't banging hookers? In 1914, Theo's widow, Jo Van Gogh Bonger, arranged for his remains to be moved from the Netherlands to Auvers-sur-Oise when he was reburied beside Vincent.
Jared PolinHOST
Today, the brothers' graves stand side by side covered in ivy.
Holly AmosHOST
I went to the Netherlands, and I went on a little bit of a van Gogh pilgrimage in which I went to the two museums there that house the majority of his work.
Holly AmosHOST
And then I went down to Zundert, which is where he was born, having already in 2018 traveled to the village north of Paris where he died, which is called Auvers-sur-Oise.
Holly AmosHOST

The latest fake scandal hit the auction rooms when Van Gogh's Garden at Auvers was put up for sale in Paris.

Dan SnowNARRATOR
This nervous storm landed him in an asylum in nearby Saint-Rémy.

A year later, apparently recovered, he moved north to Auvers-sur-Oise where he lived and painted for two months.
Dan SnowNARRATOR
He loved the big open skies and the corn fields.
Sean MoncrieffHOST
Mm.
André ZlattingerGUEST
Um, he'd just come out of the asylum in Saint-Rémy, and he'd moved to the village of Auvers, and it was kind of a moment of great joy and happiness at the beginning for him.
André ZlattingerGUEST
This picture was painted four days after he arrived in the village, and of the 45 works he produced during that period, only eight remain in private collections, and this is regarded to be the kind of masterpiece of that group.
Sean MoncrieffHOST
Yeah.
