Vincent van Gogh

Starry Night by Van Gogh is a great oil painting which has left a great legacy on the art world and led to many further activities in it’s honour such as compositions by great musicians, personal tattoos and all sorts of other bizarre but respectful acts honouring Vincent‘s masterpiece. This article covers this work in good detail for your interest.

Sadly the Starry Starry Night is not one of Vincent‘s most favoured paintings as he revealed in several letters which he sent to brother Theo, an art gallery owner and dealer. In these he explained that the painting actually was to accurate to the real view that he experienced himself, rather than incorporating the artist’s own emotions and style. Few nowadays will understand or agree with that opinion as the work seems to ooze his natural flair and style, plus make a great use of his bright, bold colour schemes. So for others, this is one of his best paintings and it retains great popularity across the world.

The work was produced during the day as Van Gogh worked entirely from his memories in conjunction with what he could see from his daily view as he painted. Vincent produced another version of the work afterwards with a pen sketch offering a different feeling to the work, bringing a far simpler alternative with more subdued colours. The original oil on canvas with it’s vivid colour scheme is clearly always going to be the best known and most popular version for those looking to buy prints or posters to add some colour to their homes and offices.
