Starry NightJune 1889, Saint-Rémy

Oil on canvas, 74 x 92 cmMuseum of Modern Art, New York

In June 1889 van Gogh painted a picture he called Starry Sky, an imaginative composition, not painted from nature or the motif but composed from various sights and scenes of Brabant and Provence.

He offered it to Bernard and Gauguin as his demonstration of a new form of religious painting. Both ignored the picture and thus overlooked van Gogh's most ambitious painting in his French period, which had been

conceived with reference to their joint concerns. Van Gogh responded to this cruel blow by angrily rejecting their work and the directions they had encouraged him to take.

GOGH, Vincent van

Van Gogh generally considered the greatest after Rembrandt, and one of the greatest of the Post-Impressionists.

The striking colour, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms of his work powerfully influenced the current of Expressionism in modern art. Van Gogh’s

art became astoundingly popular after his death, especially in the late 20th century, when his work sold for record-breaking sums at auctions around the

world and was featured in blockbuster touring exhibitions.
