about

The Killing Vincent Project is meant as a historical analysis and exposé, attempting to continue exploring the key questions that TIME magazine asked in its October 31, 2011, cover story: “Who killed Vincent van Gogh?” and “Was van Gogh’s death really a suicide?” on the “Culture” Cover. I have attempted to answer both questions. This work is not meant as an academic treatise or dissertation, with every observation, thought, and detail requiring documentation. It is only an attempt as an expose’, to seek the truth of what really happened on the day Vincent van Gogh was mortally wounded, and to best connect all the missing “dots”. In the process, I will try to fit the best murder scenario into what little is really accepted, and why he was murdered… significantly changing art history.

When I started this project, I never believed that Vincent committed suicide, but I committed my research to exploring all the possibilities from the beginning and from every angle. I tried to present all this research objectively, without any bias. However, as I progressed into all the research surrounding Vincent’s mysterious death, my theory as to who most likely killed Vincent evolved, and I became even more certain it was very unlikely that he committed suicide. I will demonstrate why it was not likely or possible for him to have done so. I will then elaborate on my theory about the murder of Vincent and its cover-up.
