Resources

Starry Night

The Starry Night was completed in 1889 near the mental asylum of Saint-Remy, 13 months before Van Gogh's death at the age of 37. Van Gogh painted furiously and The Starry Night vibrates with rockets of burning yellow while planets gyrate like cartwheels. This painting is probably the most popular of Van Gogh's works.
