apparently some astronomers checked the astronomical accuracy in one of his paintings and found that it was extremely accurate. they have been able to pinpoint the exact date and time a recently discovered Van Gogh painting was done - 7pm, June 16, 1890 - based on the location of the painting's subject and the position of Venus in the night sky.

the painting was called ''White House at Night,''

the artical can be found here www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/058/science/Van_Gogh_was_keen_observer_of_starry_nights+.shtml

just thought you people might be interested
