The Starry Night

"Often it seems to me that the night is even more richly colored than the day", wrote the painter. This nocturnal landscape was created from the room that Vincent Van Gogh occupied at the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence asylum. It is distinguished by the treatment of the sky, which occupies most of the canvas. The swirling movement of the air forms waves, and the stars sparkle like so many suns. The touch is fragmented, the colors are pure. The hustle and bustle of the sky contrasts with the tranquility of the sleepy village. Vincent Van Gogh expresses here his mystical vision of the world, in search of an invisible truth.
