Van Gogh's treatment of colors alludes to mist, fire, and the sea, and portrays the transcendental quality of the night illustrated by the dramatic glitter of the stars. 'The Starry Night' captures the night sky in an unusually colorful phase, depicting the inner conflict of the artist. Van Gogh was an expressive painter whose works emphasized the perspective of the observer. Ironically, the artist himself considered it to be a failure, evident in his now-famous letter to his brother. 'The Starry Night' was the only one of Van Gogh's works that he managed to sell in his lifetime. He had checked himself into it after suffering from manic bouts and depression.
Van Gogh conceived the famous work in 1988, during a stint in an asylum in the South of France. It depicts a whirling night sky over a village on a hillside. 'The Starry Night' is one of Vincent Van Gogh's most celebrated works of art.
