The Story:
The sight of the stars always makes me dream,” Vincent van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo. The Starry Night, completed a year before his death, seems to presage modern painting in this moody and expressionistic work.
Based on the view from his bedroom window at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, Vincent painted the scene over twenty times in various light and weather. Although not permitted to paint in his room, the hospital generously gave him a studio on the ground floor where he put paint to canvas after his observations at night. The village in the painting was drawn from memory, since he could not see it from his bedroom, and a Flemish church imported from his native country was added. But his most famous vision of the swirling, starlit night sky dominates the landscape. “This morning I saw the countryside from my window a long time before sunrise with nothing but the morning star.”
This iconic moment is captured in our richly colored suction-cup vase.
