This painting is the most popular of Vincent's works. The Starry Night was completed near the mental asylum of Saint-Remy, a year before Van Gogh's death. He was in many mental hospitals and killed himself at age 37. Van Gogh painted furiously and The Starry Night vibrates with burning yellow while planets spin madly. Even the hills seem to move, yet the cosmic gold fireworks that swirl against the blue sky are somehow restful. All the original colours are reproduced in this copy, including the reds.
