Vincent Van Gogh : Starry night

Back to Index

Starry night
That landscape doesn’t exist... You painted it in the midst of a crisis... From your window at the Saint-Rémy asylum... You could see that small low wall and Mount Gaussier... You kept Mount Gaussier and the hills... On this landscape, you added a cypress...  Instead of scattered huts, a Brabant village...and church... The night has fallen And the stars are spinning round into your head...
