The Starry Night, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889, depicts a swirling night sky over a quiet village, anchored by a dark flame-like cypress tree in the foreground. Created from memory during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, the painting transforms an ordinary view into a turbulent, dreamlike vision through thick, rhythmic brushstrokes. It remains one of the defining masterpieces of Post-Impressionism and among the most recognized paintings in Western art.
