Vincent van Gogh often used a starry sky in his paintings, but this one was special.

Even though he didn’t sign the painting, it’s undoubtedly his work because

he described it in detail in the letters to his sister. This is the first painting where

he used a starry background, but after that, he painted a few other works that

featured a sky filled with stars. In Café Terrace at Night, the constellations are

depicted with such fidelity that scientists were able to precisely date the creation

of the painting to September 16-17, 1888.
