It's pretty well known in the art industry (and it IS an industry just like oil), museums and other places that house art, like the Vatican, have made very convincing copies of the great works of art to put on public display, just because of crap like this. I recall a few decades ago the Vatican had "la pieta" marble statue by Michelangelo touring and some halfwit attacked it with a hammer....it was then revealed that the statue was a copy and that the real one was safe back at the Vatican. So I'll bet a cheeseburger (with fried onions and American cheese) that this Van Gogh painting was a copy.
It actually looks like it was behind glass and they just painted the glass.
Maybe they put out a fake and just said it was covered in glass bc they don’t want to alert the public that all the art they’re looking at isn’t real. It was back up 6 hours later. The museum claimed it was under glass. Oil paintings aren’t typically under glass. The Van Gogh’s at the Met weren’t pre-Covid.
Could be.
