Vincent van Gogh: The Starry Night Details
Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night” is one of the touchstones of the modern period. This essay by art historian Richard Thomson looks in depth at the artist’s career―from his turn to art at a relatively late age to the difficult days at the end of his life―and the making of this luminous painting.
Reviews
I painted for awhile, and came to realize that Van Gogh is my favorite artist. His life touches my heart, and hearing the song Starry, starry night, always makes me sad.
