The Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village.

What is the meaning of The Starry Night painting?

Van Gogh was seeking respite from plaguing depression at the Saint-Paul asylum in Saint-Rémy in southern France when he painted The Starry Night. It reflects his direct observations of his view of the countryside from his window as well as the memories and emotions this view evoked in him.

Why is the painting Starry Night so famous?

The famous starry night by Vincent Van Gogh is considered to be one of his greatest creations to date. The painting depicts a tranquil night on an average evening. The ambiance in the painting evokes some rather strong emotions within the viewer.

What did Van Gogh say about Starry Night?

Van Gogh wrote to Theo about the print, saying with a sense of awe, “These waves are claws, the boat is caught in them, you can feel it.” Though he did not have a print of the Great Wave with him at the asylum, historian Martin Bailey believes he may have worked from memory, calling The Starry Night “a work of imagination with all sorts of conscious and unconscious elements which must have come into Vincent’s mind when he was doing the painting.”
