Van Gogh, The Starry Night
Turbulent skies of Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night’ align with a scientific theory, study finds
A new study suggests Vincent van Gogh showed a deep, intuitive understanding of the mathematical structure of turbulence in his painting “The Starry Night.”
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.
Scientists Say Van Gogh’s Starry Night Contains Hidden Physics
Scientists recently analyzed Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night to see how well its famous swirls matched up with known atmospheric physics. After analysis, they found that not only did the shapes match up with our current ideas of atmospheric turbulence,

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.
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.
