Starry Night Over the Rhone: Van Gogh's Vision Under Cosmos - by Van Gogh
Image ID: 29334
Swirling heavens bathed in a mystical blue embrace the quaint village under an expanse of swirling stars in Van Gogh's "Starry Night Over the Rhone." This masterpiece, painted in 1888, captures the tranquil yet potent beauty of the night sky. The artist’s signature impasto technique—using thick, expressive strokes of vibrant colors—brings the evening to life with dynamic contrasts and textures. In this painting, Van Gogh portrays the glimmering reflections of gas lights on the waters of the Rhone in Arles, flanked by silhouettes of boats and the distant town. The vast night sky, filled with dazzling stars, serves as a stark, mesmerizing backdrop to the serene riverfront scene. This work is emblematic of Van Gogh's preoccupation with illuminating night landscapes and his profound sense of isolation and wonderment towards nature.
