A painting that sat for six decades in a Norwegian industrialist's attic after he was told it was a fake Van Gogh was pronounced the real thing Sept. 9, making it the first full-size Van Gogh discovered since 1928.

Experts at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam authenticated the 1888 landscape Sunset at Montmajour with the help of letters, chemical pigment analysis and X-rays of the canvas.

At its unveiling, museum director Axel Rueger called the discovery a "once-in-a-lifetime experience." (AP)
