A Starry Night: Saint Remy by Vincent Van Gogh

The year is 1889. Vincent Van Gogh is a patient at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. He is suffering from mental illness, and his doctors have advised him to stay indoors and avoid painting. But Van Gogh cannot resist the urge to create, and he spends his days painting the landscapes and people around him. - One night, Van Gogh is awakened by a storm. He looks out his window and sees the sky ablaze with colour. He is struck by the beauty of the scene, and he decides to paint it. He goes to his easel and begins to work. - Van Gogh paints for hours, capturing the swirling clouds, the dark cypress trees, and the twinkling stars. He is so absorbed in his work that he does not notice the time passing. When he finally finishes, he is exhausted but exhilarated. - Van Gogh's painting of Starry Night over the Rhone is one of his most famous works. It is a masterpiece of colour and movement, and it captures the beauty of the night sky like no other painting. - Van Gogh continued to paint throughout his life, and he created many other masterpieces. But Starry Night over the Rhone remains one of his most beloved works. It is a testament to his talent and his resilience, and it continues to inspire people around the world. - This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1927.
