Van Gogh's Sky Was Real

Vincent Van Gogh painted a sky that matches the real view from July 1889. This was the year he immortalized the French horizon in his work.

The painting is usually dated to around June 18th based on a letter to his brother, Theo. However, experts note the sky aligns with the later month.
