Starry Night
“Starry Night” by Van Gogh is certainly one of the most #famous and universally recognized #works in the world.
☞ Do you know…
‣ This mystical night #landscape depicts the sky of a small town in the south of France, just before dawn. What Vincent could see from his window in the asylum of Saint-Rémy, where he was hospitalized after committing an act of self-harm
‣ The position of the elements is less random than it might appear at first glance. In fact, although the representation is unrealistic and full of the author’s #imagination and sentiment, the stars and the moon are faithfully reproduced with respect to their astronomical nature, so as to provide important details for the dating of the painting
