The LMI Group presents a portrait titled Elimar, claiming it to be a lost work by Vincent Van Gogh despite differing stylistic traits. The painting portrays a fisherman mending his net, and its inscription supposedly ties back to a character in an Andersen novel. Found at a garage sale, Elimar contrasts with a Danish original by Michael Ancher, which LMI argues Van Gogh interpreted in 1889. After extensive testing supporting its late 19th-century pigment use, LMI’s assertion explores the painter’s influences and creative interpretations during his asylum stay in Provence.
LMI Group claims Elimar, a portrait of a fisherman, is a Van Gogh, although it lacks typical Van Gogh elements, and raises questions about its attribution.
The painting features an inscription referring to a character from a Hans Christian Andersen novel, suggesting a deliberate connection to maritime culture.
Despite its unsigned nature and lack of provenance, LMI believes Elimar reflects Van Gogh's approach during 1889, when he interpreted works by artists he admired.
After years of research, LMI asserts Elimar potentially represents Van Gogh's unique version of a Danish artist’s portrait, expanding the scope of his artistic inquiry.
