July 29, 1890


Vincent Van Gogh was a dutch post impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illnes throughout his life and died, largely unknown, at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.the post impressionist age extended imperessionism while rejecting its limitations. they continued using vivid colours, thick application of paint, distinctive brush strokes, and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colour.

Starry Night is being considered a hight of the geniality of the author. Vincent Van Gogh was fascinated by the sky and the night. He painted Starry Night in a few days, probably from his memory or from the word of the Saint-Remy Hospital, we don't think he could have being out on his own.

In the Starry Night, experts believe that Vincent was representing the Via Lactea, a scientific discovery very recent in that time.
