STARRY SKY
This 1889 painting by Dutch post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh is one of his most famous and beloved works.
The painting depicts the night sky as seen from the window of the mental hospital in Saint-Remy, France, where Van Gogh lived voluntarily in the last years of his life. Van Gogh used strong colors and dynamic images in the painting to express his awe of the night sky and his sense of some higher dimensional force in the universe. The painting is often interpreted as a symbol of Van Gogh's deep thoughts on life, death, and the universe.
