Starry Night
Post-impressionist nocturnal masterpiece
Starry Night is Vincent van Gogh's famous 1889 painting depicting a swirling night sky over a village, created while he was staying at an asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.
The painting's distinctive spiraling clouds and luminous stars have made it one of the most recognized and reproduced works in Western art: They have a Starry Night poster in their dorm room. (Lowercase starry night describes any night with visible stars.)
