This research has indicated the map of the sky on the night that Vincent Van Gogh painted "Starry Night," and Edvard Munch painted "Girls on a Pier." Questions about the degree to which such impressionistic painters sought realism in their work are considered. Olson also used his calculations to determine the occurrence of unusual tidal phenomena described in the book "The Canterbury Tales," by Geoffrey Chaucer, and historical accounts of the Battle of Tarawa during the Second World War. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Smithsonian is the property of Smithsonian Magazine and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
