The Starry Night

The Starry Night
The Starry Night (1889), one of Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh's best-known paintings, illustrates the artist's vivid, expressive style. Thick, swirling brushstrokes and contrasting colors charge the work with emotional intensity. Van Gogh transformed the setting of a quiet village at night into a dazzling portrait of the inherent power of the natural world.
