The Full Story
Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh created The Starry Night in June 1889 while staying at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-RΓ©my-de-Provence, France, following a mental breakdown. The painting depicts a swirling night sky over a village with a prominent cypress tree. Van Gogh considered it a failure and mentioned it only briefly in letters to his brother Theo. Today it is one of the most recognised paintings in the world, housed at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, which acquired it in 1941.
