Grasshopper found embedded in Vincent Van Gogh's Olive Trees painting

Museum curators have made a surprise discovery in Vincent Van Gogh's Olive Trees: a grasshopper embedded in the paint.

The experts from the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City discovered the insect - missing its abdomen and thorax - 128 years after it was painted.

Van Gogh was a famous proponent of plein air painting - the practice of painting outdoors - and it is thought the grasshopper unintentionally became part of the canvas while the artist was at work outside.
