"Starry night"

This painting was made in Netherland between 1853-1890 by Vincent Van Gogh. This painting is the description made by the painter about the night in his town. When we see a painting, we have to understand that it is the point of view of one person. In this case Van Gogh was able to distinguish the different tones that the sky have had during that night.


It was painted with oil on canvas, and the interesting thing bout this special technique is when you paint with oil, the mixture of the tones is made in the canvas. Thinking about that the amazing skill of Van Gogh to create the perfect color to represent the clods, the stars and the shine envioroment of the night.


I personally like this painting because it is quiet, and it will always surprise you. Every time you look at it, there is something new to appreciate. It involves you into its atmosphere so deeply that you believe yourself in the place starring at the sky.
