[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 229559, member: 56"]In this letter to Theo, Vincent mentions Francois Buffa publishers, but in connection with a print: [URL]http://vangoghletters.org/vg/letters/let732/letter.html[/URL] The letter was written during his later period and he refers to the publisher as Francois, not Frans (as I would expect had he known the firm in Amsterdam). Still, there was a connection, however tenuous, between the Van Goghs and Buffa. Also, as an art dealership Buffa continued until 1951, so who knows what paintings passed through that firm's hands even decades after Vincent's death. This article states that at least one Van Gogh passed through: [URL]http://www.iconclass.nl/rkdenglish/archive/news/frans-buffa-sons-1775-1951-.-an-amsterdam-player-on-the-international-and-national-art-markets[/URL][/QUOTE]
