梵高絕筆作創作地確定

A postcard has led experts to identify the place where Vincent van Gogh likely painted his final masterpiece.
專家們通過一張明信片確定了文森特·梵高絕筆傑作可能的創作地點。

Wouter van der Veen, the scientific director of the Institut van Gogh, found a postcard dating from 1900 to 1910 showing Tree trunks and roots growing on a hillside - this, he thought, showed a similar scene to that in Van Gogh's "Tree Roots."
梵高研究所的科學主任伍特爾·範·德·維恩發現了一張可以追溯到1900年到1910年的明信片，這張明信片上的場景是一個山坡上生長的樹幹和樹根，他認爲，這些都與梵高的作品《樹根》中所繪景物相似。

The fanciful and bright painting, an oil on canvas that was never fully completed, is thought to be the painter's last work before he died on July 29, 1890.
這幅奇特而明亮的帆布油畫並未完成，被認爲是畫家1890年7月29日去世前的最後一幅作品。

After submitting his theory to two researchers at the Van Gogh Museum and a vegetation specialist, Van der Veen got the good news.
範·德·維恩把他的理論提交給梵高博物館的兩位研究人員和一位植被專家之後，得到了好消息。

Experts concluded it was "highly plausible" the painting's location - 150 meters from the Auberge Ravoux, the inn in Auvers-sur-Oise where Van Gogh spent the final 70 days of his life - had been discovered.
專家們得出結論，這裏“非常有可能”是《樹根》所描繪的地點，此處距離梵高在奧維爾的居所拉烏客棧150米，梵高在拉烏客棧度過了他生命的最後70天。
