Part 1 of 5 · freeIntroduction
The Starry Night (1889) is the most famous painting by Vincent Van Gogh, an artist born in the Netherlands. Painted at the asylum of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, it marks a turning point: you no longer paint only what you see. You paint what you feel.
A swirling sky, a cypress like a black flame, an invented village: the work opens the way to the expressive art of the 20th century.
