This painting of Van Gogh consists of an enchanting color palette which makes up the beautiful swirls. The Starry Night painting is truly captivating, so does the story behind it. The inspiration for the painting came from an actual view of a mental institution where Van Gogh was a patient. The scenery was a view from an east-facing window of his asylum bedroom in Saint-Paul-de-Mausole just before sunrise. This was painted on the winter of June 1889 while he was in the institution. The brightest star in the painting is Venus which was said to be visible in Provence during dawn in the spring of 1889. The moon painted in the picture was also visible through the iron-barred window and is a waning gibbous moon. The only element in the painting that was not visible from his bedroom window was the village. The village was said to have come from a sketch drawn from a hillside above the village of Saint-Rémy de-Provence.
This is an art from Vincent Williem van Gogh which is also know as Van Gogh, he is one of the famous and inspirational painters in the history of art.
In just over a decade he painted 2,100 artworks.
After seeing the painting i realized that i am too blind, because the things that i see is only the happenings to our world and i forgot appreciating the work of our Man from heaven which is our Earth. I can't believe that beyond our blurry eyes there is a mind blowing view of our wonderful nature.
For me this painting portrays how beautiful our world is, like from any angle it looks like a dream. Our father from above is really the best artist. I chose this painting because it attracts my eyes the most, the blending of colors, the view of a beautiful night. It is such a creative painting made by a wide minded, imaginative painter.
