Starry night by Vincent Van Gogh

Van Gogh's Starry Night is considered his most famous work and it characterizes his individual technique.

The night sky depicted in the Starry Night painting is brimming with whirling clouds, shining stars, and a bright crescent moon. These internal elements ensure fluidity and such contours were important for the artist even though they were becoming less significant for other Impressionists at this time
Van Gogh's use of white and yellow creates a spiral effect and draws attention to the sky. Vertical lines such as the cypress tree and church tower softly break up the composition without retracting from the powerful night sky. Van Gogh uses color to convey emotion.
Van Gogh´s passion for nighttime is evident in Starry Night, where the powerful sky sits above the quiet town. It seems that van Gogh is contrasting life and death with luminous stars and a gloomy, peaceful village.
There are various interpretations of Starry Night and one is that this canvas depicts hope. It seems that van Gogh was showing that even with darkness it is still possible to see light in the windows of the houses, and with shining stars filling the sky, there is always light to guide you. It seems that van Gogh was finally being cured of his illness and had essentially found his heaven.
