Hot air balloon shaped like Vincent Van Gogh's was spotted soaring through the sky

A massive hot air balloon in the shape of famous artist Vincent Van Gogh's head was spotted soaring through the sky.

The reproduction of one of the artist's most famous works, Self-Portrait with Grey Felt Hat, has been turned into a 27m tall balloon.

Printed from a high resolution image of the 1887 self-portrait, the balloon by Dutch company Bavaria BV reportedly cost around £220,350 to make.
