Description
The Starry Night is one of the most celebrated masterpieces of post-impressionist art. Painted from the window of Vincent van Gogh’s asylum room in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, it captures a swirling, dreamlike night sky over a quiet village and rolling hills. The painting is known for its dynamic, almost turbulent sky filled with glowing yellow stars and a luminous crescent moon, all set against a backdrop of bold, flowing blue brushstrokes.
A large cypress tree rises in the foreground, its dark form connecting the heavens and the earth, adding depth and symbolism to the composition. The village below is painted in calm, cool tones, contrasting the vibrant energy of the sky. Van Gogh’s expressive use of color and texture conveys both wonder and a sense of emotional intensity, reflecting his inner turmoil and fascination with the cosmos.
