VINCENT VAN GOGH: “Starry night”, 1889

VINCENT VAN GOGH“Starry night”, 1889 - oil on canvas, 73,7 - 92,1 cm. - New York, Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) - view high resolution image
One of the artist's most brilliant and famous works, commonly associated to his increasing madness, and that actually was the result of van Gogh's interest for the astronomical investigations. In fact, in this painting we can observe either real or fantastic elements. On the first hand, a study made by the Griffith Park Observatory demonstrated that Vincent represented the Moon, Venus, and several stars in the exact position they occupied that clear night. On the other hand, the showy spiral that occupies great part of the work is clearly a fantastic element.
