The annual livestock parade diverted from its usual route as housing activists kept protesting an eviction in the city center.
Scientists recently traced 'The Starry Night' to a celestial scene from 1889, suggesting a new date for Vincent van Gogh's world-famous painting.
Findings indicate that rather than being a product of Vincent Gogh's imagination, the masterpiece was inspired by what he saw from his French asylum 137 years ago.
A South Korean team reported Thursday that they matched the masterpiece to a predawn sky from around July 22, 1889, with results published in Scientific Reports.
The discovery places the painting a month later than the long-accepted time frame, reshaping scholarly understanding of when van Gogh created this masterwork.
Linking the famous work to a specific celestial event, findings provide new insight into van Gogh's artistic process and challenge assumptions about his creative inspiration.
