The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh

The Starry Night (1889)

Vincent van Gogh | Post-Impressionism | Oil on canvas

Van Gogh based this night sky on the view from his bedroom window at a hospital in southern France where he was staying. He actually painted it in the daytime, and he added a little village that was not really there! Swirling clouds and bright stars seem to dance across the sky.

Did you know? That extra-bright "star" just to the right of the tall cypress tree is probably the planet Venus! Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo that before sunrise he saw "the morning star, which looked very big."
