*** About Starry Night Over the Rhône: Painted in September 1888 while Van Gogh lived in Arles, this artwork is an exquisite example of how the artist was inspired by the night itself, which he described as "more alive and richly colored than the day." Created during a period of remarkable productivity, this painting is a testament to Van Gogh’s ongoing exploration of night landscapes under artificial and natural light. Fusing elements of Impressionism and proto-Expressionism, Van Gogh’s technique involved vigorous, visible brush strokes that added texture and vibrancy to the scene. The artwork’s compelling contrast between the tranquility of the river and the luminous starlit sky invites contemplation of nature's beauty and its emotional resonance. Today, this magnificent painting is housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, continuing to enchant art lovers with its poignant illumination and stirring portrayal of night.
