Scientists Say Van Gogh’s Starry Night Contains Hidden Physics
The swirling colors and flowing brushstrokes of Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night have secured the painting (and its artist) a place among the all-time greats. As a piece of art, Starry Night is undeniably beautiful, but beauty alone is often not enough to keep a painting so cemented in the minds and hearts of the public.
Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ Is Surprisingly Scientifically Accurate, Mirroring Complex Atmospheric Physics
But the swirling skies in his masterpiece might be more than a projection of his inner turmoil. According to a new study, van Gogh’s depiction of the night sky is an uncannily accurate representation of a complex physical phenomenon: turbulence.
New research finds Van Gogh's ‘Starry Night’ skies align with physics
A new study found that the skies in Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” align with current models of atmospheric turbulence. NBC News’ Ellison Barber talks to astrophysicist Adam Frank on the science behind the iconic swirly sky.
Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' contains surprisingly accurate physics — suggesting he understood the hidden 'dynamism of the sky'
A new analysis of the brushstrokes and colors in Vincent van Gogh's famous painting Starry Night reveals a striking similarity to "hidden turbulence" in Earth's atmosphere, suggesting the iconic artist had a surprisingly detailed understanding of natural processes.
Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ held a secret — and scientists just discovered the ‘hidden turbulence’
The Starry Night,” the 1889 hallmark artwork by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, is remarkably congruent to the astronomic principles of our sky, atmospheric scientists recently discovered. It also alludes to the artist being well ahead of the scientific minds of the 19th century.
Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night' masterpiece captured real world physics
Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting The Starry Night is renowned for its swirling blue skies and luminous yellow stars.
