No longer in the picture

A PICTURE believed to be one of only two surviving photographs of artist Vincent Van Gogh is in fact a picture of his brother Theo, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam said yesterday. The black and white image had long been thought to show Vincent at the age of 13, and has featured in biographies of the notoriously camera-shy artist.

The only other known photograph of him shows him at aged 19.
