Vincent van Gogh's The Starry Night (oil on canvas, 29x36-1/4 inches) hangs in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. He created this painting when he was in a psychiatric center in France. During his convalesce period after his mental problems he produced this remarkable painting. When he recovered completely he moved to Arles. Here he hoped that he would find an art colony. None of his art was really appreciated until after July 29, 1890 when he died. I really enjoy the colors in this paintings most of all but this is a very well known piece overall. One of his most famous paintings.
