梵高之枪高价拍出

The rusty handgun that Vincent van Gogh is believed to have killed himself with in 1890 has sold for €162,500 ($183,000).

据信，梵高于1890年自杀的那把锈迹斑斑的手枪已经以16.25万欧元(合18.3万美元)的价格售出。

The 7mm Lefaucheux revolver went under the hammer at an auction in Paris on Tuesday.

这把7毫米的左轮手枪周二在巴黎拍卖会上被拍卖售出。

AuctionArt, which offered the item, described it as "the most famous weapon in the history of art."

拍卖商称这是“艺术史上最著名的武器”。

Although the auction house admitted it could not be completely certain that it was the gun used by the painter to take his life, it pointed to "several pieces of evidence (that) show it must be Van Gogh's suicide gun."

尽管拍卖行承认不能完全确定这是画家用来自杀的枪，但它指出“几项证据表明这一定是梵高的自杀枪。”

"It was discovered where Van Gogh shot it; its caliber is the same as the bullet retrieved from the artist's body as described by the doctor at the time; (and) scientific studies demonstrate that the gun had stayed in the ground since the 1890s," AuctionArt said in a statement prior to the sale.

“它是在梵高开枪的地方被发现的;其口径与当时医生描述的从艺术家身上取出的子弹相同;科学研究表明，这把枪自19世纪90年代以来一直留在地面上。

The final selling price was significantly higher than the pre-auction estimate of €60,000 ($67,000).

最终成交价远远高于拍卖前估计的6万欧元(合6.7万美元)。

A farmer found the gun in 1965 in the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise, where the artist died.

1965年，一名农民在法国奥弗斯河畔奥弗斯村发现了这把枪。

The discovery was made in the same field in which Van Gogh is thought to have shot himself in the stomach in July 1890.

这一发现是在梵高1890年7月开枪自杀的同一地点发现的。

The farmer gave the weapon to the owners of an inn in the village, and it was passed down through their family before being put up for auction.

农民把这把枪给了村里一家小旅馆的老板，在拍卖之前，这把枪是他们家世代传下来的。

The revolver had previously been on public display at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2016 as part of its exhibition "On the Verge of Insanity: Van Gogh and His Illness."

这支左轮手枪曾于2016年在阿姆斯特丹的梵高博物馆公开展出，作为“濒临疯狂:梵高和他的疾病”展览的一部分。

The auction house has not named winning bidder.

拍卖行目前没有公布中标者的名字。
