Starry Night was painted in June 1889 in Saint-Remy, place where Vincent Van Gogh was hospitalized because of anxiety and depression disorders. He had "work attacks", trying to paint as much as he could because he was worried he would get worse and he could not be able to continue working.
Starry Nigh has a japanese influence, as Vincent Van Gogh was fascinated
by the japanese engravings and stamps. The composition of Starry Night
is brilliant, genial; the cypress crossing on the left an side and still
not taking over the importance of the town in the background and the massive
waving stars.
This painting is consider one of his masterpieces, which influenced very
much the painters of the German Expressionism, as well as the Norwegian
painter Edvard Munch.
