Vincent van Gogh: the charm of starry night

vincent van gogh starry night

Between November of 1881 and July of 1890, Vincent van Gogh painted almost 900 paintings. Since his death, he has become one of the most famous painters in the world. He had created many works about the starry night. These include: Starry Night, Starry Night over the Rhone and Cafe Terrace at Night. The magical charm of his paintings has attracted everyone.

Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in an Asylum at Saint-Remy in 1889. Someone said that Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh has risen to the peak of artistic achievements. But what features within the painting are responsible for its ever growing popularity? There are actually several main aspects. Firstly, the night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze with their own luminescence, and a bright crescent moon. This sky keeps the viewer's eyes moving about the painting, following the curves and creating a visual dot to dot with the stars. This movement keeps the onlooker involved in the painting while the other factors take hold. Secondly, below the rolling hills of the horizon lies a small town. The cool dark colors and the fiery windows spark memories of our childhood years filled with imagination of what exists in the night and dark starry skies. The center point of the town is the tall steeple of the church, reigning largely over the smaller buildings. The whole painting is like a fairy tale, gives us a sense of mystery and makes people feel warm as well as comfortable.

Gogh was quite proud of a piece he had painted earlier in Arles in 1888 that depicted stars reflecting in the Rhone Rive: Starry Night over the Rhone. Although it is not nearly as popular as Starry Night but it is still an amazing painting. It contains not only the starry sky, but also humans. In the bottom right corner of the painting there is a couple walking along the river. This gives the painting a down to earth feel with a natural quality.

Cafe Terrace at Night was also painted in Arles in 1888. The similarities between this piece the previous two are vaguely similar. This piece offers a new type of perspective on the star filled sky. The stars are not as bright as the previous two paintings-they are barely consumed in their own light. The dark starry sky and the bright yellow wall form a sharp contrast. There is a sense of balance attributed to the dark cityscape silhouette.

These three paintings have astounded millions of people and remain three of the best works ever to flow from Van Gogh's paint brush. Each day hundreds of people crowd around the original paintings located in various art museums to offer their own personal interpretation as to the meaning of the pieces. Although we may never know how Vincent himself truly felt about these paintings, mankind still embraces their greatness. Vincent van Gogh died at the age of 37 bringing his career as a painter to an end, but beginning his legacy as the great painter of the future who inspired the world.
