*** About Starry Night: Originally painted in 1889, Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh is one of the most recognized pieces in global art history. Created during his time at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, Van Gogh’s work captures the emotional intensity and inner turmoil reflecting his state of mind. The painting features bold, dramatic brush strokes which make the night sky swirl with luminous stars and a glowing crescent moon, a style that later came to define his unique approach to post-impressionism. The deep blues and vibrant yellows convey his fascination with the nocturnal view from his asylum window, although he famously painted the scene from memory during the day. Today, the original Starry Night resides in the Museum of Modern Art in New York, drawing countless visitors each year to gaze upon its thick, animated brush strokes and feel the artist’s pulsating psyche through the canvas.
