STARRY NIGHT

Starry Night is a painting by the Dutch post-impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view outside of his sanitarium room window at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence (located in southern France) at night, although it was painted from memory during the day. It has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1941. The painting is among Van Gogh's most well-known works and marks a decisive turn towards greater imaginative freedom in his art.

This course cultural week has been dedicated to The Netherlands, so we have been painting tulips, bright landscapes and of course, starry nights.

Van Gogh is a worldwide known painter who tried to paint  his country in a very personal way. We have been learning his main painting techniques such as the use of brushstrokes and bold colours. 

But what we didn´t know was his popular Starry Night could be seen worldwide!
