New Light on an Old Painting
Until recently a still life by Vincent Van Gogh was known as "Red Cabbages and Onions." However, recently the museum has re-evaluated that title, after the painting attracted the interest of a chef who is also a painter on the side. He noted that the items that have always been identified as onions didn't quite look right for them, and instead their shape more closely resembled garlic. After some careful analysis of the lines of the painting, the curators agreed with him, and the painting has been renamed "Red Cabbages and Garlic."
