The Starry Night (1889) by Vincent Van Gogh

The Starry Night — Vincent van Gogh (1889)

A sky in motion—cypress like a dark flame, a village at rest, and the heavens alive with spirals and stars. This fine-art reproduction—after van Gogh’s 1889 Saint-Rémy masterpiece—captures the emotional weather of the night: ultramarines and cobalt swirling into luminous yellows, brushwork that turns wind into light, and a horizon where earth and cosmos meet in quiet awe.

Why it captivates

• Icon of modern art — the definitive vision of night as feeling, not just sight.

• Colour and movement — blues and golds orchestrated into a sky that seems to breathe.

• Human scale — a sleeping village grounds the celestial drama.

• Symbolic anchors — the cypress, moon, and bright “morning star” (Venus) intensify the mood.

• Instant statement — recognisable across a room; calming yet electric.

What you’ll see

An east-facing panorama: the cypress rises in the foreground; rooftops and a church spire settle the middle distance; above them a swirling firmament arcs in great ribbons of paint. A crescent moon and the brilliant Venus punctuate the sky, while layered strokes knit light, wind, and depth into one continuous rhythm.

A richer historical frame

Painted in June 1889 at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this work reimagines the view from van Gogh’s window, blending observation with invention (the village is a composite). It belongs to his series of nocturnes exploring how colour can carry emotion—kin to, but distinct from, his Arles night scenes of 1888.
