Vincent Van Gogh - Starry Night Over The Rhone

This oil on canvas from 1888 is a painting Van Gogh did at night on the banks of the Rhone river, only a few blocks from the famous 'yellow house' he was renting at the time. In a letter to his brother Theo, he writes;

"Included a small sketch of a 30 square canvas - in short the starry sky painted by night, actually under a gas jet. The sky is aquamarine, the water is royal blue, the ground is mauve. The town is blue and purple. The gas is yellow and the reflections are russet gold descending down to green-bronze. On the aquamarine field of the sky the great bear is a sparkling green and pink, whose discreet paleness contrasts with the brutal gold of the gas. Two colourful figurines of lovers in the foreground."

The night sky and the effects of light at night provided the subject for some of his more famous paintings, including Cafe Terrace At Night (painted earlier the same month) and the later canvas from Saint-Rémy, The Starry Night.
