The Starry Night is a painting by Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. The painting depicts the view outside his sanatorium room window at night, although it was painted from memory during the day. The bold, haunting colors that grace the painting make the whole city feel as though it is engulfed in the night sky, and the figures in the piece are etched in almost, rather than painted on in heavy brush strokes giving this scene a delicate ambiance. The center part shows the village of Saint-Rémy under a swirling sky, in a view from the asylum towards north. The Alpilles far to the right fit to this view, but there is little rapport of the actual scene with the intermediary hills which seem to be derived from a different part of the surroundings, south of the asylum. The cypress tree to the left was added into the composition. The shadows incorporated into this painting are also understated, but add a great deal of feeling to the piece, underscoring the most dramatic lines and intensifying the edges of the canvas in a way that frames the scene and brings the viewer's focus to the center of the canvas. This piece is a true original as far as cityscapes and abstract paintings go and it will create conversation just as much as it will create stirring emotions in it's viewers with it's warm colors and subtle innovations.
This painting is available on a single large canvas that is a very appropriate size for most living spaces. Being depicted across one canvas is very appropriate for this piece in particular because continuity is essential for the lines and subjects being displayed here.
