A new study questions the date Vincent van Gogh painted "Starry Night," suggesting it was created on July 22, 1889, rather than in June. South Korean astronomers argue that the positions of the moon, Venus, and stars in the painting match the sky on that date. However, the Van Gogh Museum contests this, citing evidence that the painting was completed in June, supported by Van Gogh's correspondence and his mental health issues in July. The researchers used astronomical software to analyze the sky configurations, but their findings are not definitive. Critics, including the museum, argue that Van Gogh's artistic interpretation may not align with precise astronomical data, leaving the painting's date open to debate.
