Abstract
This white paper introduces a groundbreaking opportunity to own a fractional interest in a potentially historically significant unseen but mention in catalogue of Vincent van Gogh painting, through the issuance of 100,000 Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on Open Sea platform.
The first initiative of this NFT is to represents a share in 5% of the painting’s physical asset value, assuming the value of 10,000,000 USD. (Ten million US dollar)
Although the artwork has not yet been “officially” authenticated by institutional authorities, multiple advanced analyses strongly support its authenticity. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) scanning revealed several hidden sketches beneath the surface—sketches that closely match documented hidden redo painting and drawings found in Van Gogh’s letters.
An AI-driven application trained specifically to detect forgeries in Van Gogh’s oeuvre also identified the painting with a 99% probability of authenticity. The Scanned confirmed style and content of the underlying sketches are consistent with works created between 1883 through 1886, suggesting the painting may be the sketch canvas Van Gogh used to practice many objects. The painting is currently undergoing a rigorous, expert-led authentication process. Among the experts involved are specialists in art technology and artificial intelligence, some of whom have provided consulting for institutions such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Rijksmuseum.
Proceeds from this NFT initiative will fund the final stages of authentication from the “authorities” and to spread the news to the world, the process in verifying - including provenance research, scientific analysis, and valuation will be reported accordingly to the buyers. ensuring compliance with the highest standards of fine art authentication issued by respected and recognized institutions.
Introduction
Why Fractional NFTs Backed by Fine Art Stand Apart
The fusion of blockchain technology and fine art is transforming how collectors engage with masterpieces—this NFT project offers a rare investment opportunity through fractional ownership of an undervalued Vincent van Gogh painting, supported by advanced AI authentication, XRF and pigment analysis, and forensic research, yet still requiring extraordinary efforts to gain full acceptance in the art world; once its authenticity is challenged and debated in the media and connoisseur circles, this has the potential to become a global art sensation and dominate headlines in the international art market.
Unlike meme NFTs—often driven by hype, social trends, and short-lived digital virality—fractional NFTs backed by physical fine art are anchored in tangible, appreciating assets with intrinsic cultural and historical value.
Key Differences:
- Real-World Asset Backing : Each token represents a share of a museum-grade artwork, not just a digital image. This gives it baseline value independent of market sentiment.
- Continuous Value Appreciation: Fine art, especially from masters like Van Gogh, has a long-term track record of steady appreciation. As authenticity and provenance are confirmed, token value is poised to rise—not crash with the latest meme cycle.
- Collectability with Historical and Cultural sentiment; Meme NFTs may go viral, but fine art carries centuries of legacy. Collectors value story, history, and authenticity—qualities meme NFTs do not have.
- Stability and Prestige: Fine Art-backed NFTs offer an entry into the blue-chip world of art investing—a space traditionally reserved for the ultra-wealthy. This bridges fine art and blockchain with credibility, transparency, and purpose.

Authentication Process
Painting Verification Process
This painting has undergone initial scientific analysis and has attracted the attention of internationally respected experts in MA-XRF (Macro X-Ray Fluorescence) and AI-based art authentication. These professionals—many of whom have contributed their expertise to institutions such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Rijksmuseum—have identified several compelling indicators suggesting the work may indeed be a lost piece by Vincent van Gogh. Through advanced imaging techniques, early analysis revealed underlying sketches, faded pigments, and compositional structure consistent with Van Gogh’s known works from the years 1883 to 1886. Such technologies are not only instrumental in confirming authenticity but also in restoring an artwork’s original intent and vibrancy.
To ensure the painting’s authenticity is verified with the highest level of academic and institutional integrity, the following steps remain:
- Appointment of a leading international art institution to formally oversee and document the authentication process.
- Multispectral imaging and pigment analysis, comparing the elemental composition to Van Gogh’s confirmed works.
- AI-assisted analysis of brushstrokes and structural composition, utilizing machine learning trained on a vast dataset of authenticated Van Gogh paintings.
- A final review by a multidisciplinary expert panel, culminating in the issuance of a formal certificate of authenticity and provenance.
The Significance of This Discovery
Among the most remarkable findings is a strand of red hair embedded in the paint layer—identified as human, not synthetic. While subtle, this forensic detail may represent a deeply personal trace of the artist himself. Such a discovery adds a rare biological dimension to the authentication process, offering the possibility of a direct physical connection to Vincent van Gogh. The subject of the painting adds yet another layer of intrigue. It appears to depict a landscape long speculated upon by art historians: the mysterious scene glimpsed through the window in Van Gogh’s iconic painting The Bedroom. For over a century, the landscape outside that window has never been conclusively identified.
Now, with the aid of XRF imaging and AI-based visual comparisons, the hidden sketches and pigment composition in this painting bear strong alignment with documented locations, techniques, and motifs found in Van Gogh’s letters and early works during his transition from Nuenen (Netherlands) to Rue Lepic (Paris).
Funding the Final Chapter
The proceeds from this NFT offering will be used to support the final, critical phase of authentication. This includes:
- Institutional oversight and documentation
- Completion of scientific testing
- Legal provenance review
- Public exhibition and education
- Long-term preservation and custodianship
This initiative is not merely a digital collectible—it is an invitation to participate in the rediscovery of a lost chapter in art history. Through careful stewardship, technological innovation, and global collaboration, we aim to return this work to its rightful place in the legacy of one of the world’s greatest artists.
The painting has undergone preliminary examination, receiving acknowledgments from renowned professors in the field of MA-XRF (X-Ray Spectrometry) and AI-driven art authentication. These experts have also collaborated with the Van Gogh Museum, and many reputable museums on technological advancements in verifying authenticity, and also revealing the true color of fading colors in paintings. To complete the verification, the following steps remain:
- Appoint International Art Institution to witness progress.
- Advanced multispectral imaging and pigment analysis.
- AI-based brushstroke and composition validation.
- Expert panel review and final certification.
Additionally, forensic analysis has uncovered a remarkable detail: a strand of red hair embedded in the painting. The observation confirm that it is a human hair, not a brush fiber. This discovery adds another layer of authenticity, potentially linking the painting directly to Van Gogh DNA of himself, as the painting in question is depicted into another painting call “the bedroom”.
The landscape inside “the bedroom” notoriously had never been found and remains a mystery; until the technological examination of this painting went into revealing underneath sketches and color pigments that are matched with Van Gogh Big data.
Funds raised from the NFT sale will be allocated to cover these authentication expenses.
