Using astronomy to analyse the van Gogh drawing ‘Bank of the Rhone’
This paper presents an astronomical analysis of the van Gogh drawing ‘Bank of the Rhone’ to determine the possible dates of its creation. By examining the position of the sun depicted in the drawing and comparing it with the actual sunset positions at the location in Arles, France, a range of dates is derived that differs from the accepted historical dating of the work. The study demonstrates the potential of using interdisciplinary approaches that combine art and astronomy to gain new insights into artistic works. The analysis also serves as an engaging exercise for students to explore the intersection of science and art.
期刊介绍:
Physics Education seeks to serve the physics teaching community and we welcome contributions from teachers. We seek to support the teaching of physics to students aged 11 up to introductory undergraduate level. We aim to provide professional development and support for teachers of physics around the world by providing: a forum for practising teachers to make an active contribution to the physics teaching community; knowledge updates in physics, educational research and relevant wider curriculum developments; and strategies for teaching and classroom management that will engage and motivate students.
