Scientists Pin Down Real Date Behind Van Gogh's Starry Night
Original: Van Gogh’s 'Starry Night' Sky Was Long Thought To Have Occurred In June 1889. Scientists Say They've Found The Actual Date
Van Gogh painted 'The Starry Night' in June 1889 while staying at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, and the swirling sky in the canvas has long been linked to that month. Researchers now say they have identified the actual date when the night sky depicted in the painting occurred, narrowing the timing of the celestial scene more precisely than before. The findings offer a fresh astronomical reading of one of the world's most famous artworks.
Why now: A new scientific study claims to have pinpointed the exact date of the sky Van Gogh painted, revising a long-standing assumption.
