The Painting by Van Gogh “Starry Night”
In this famous painting the great power of the artist, his special perception of the surrounding world and the unique individual manner of writing are demonstrated.
No artist painted the night sky with such enthusiasm and trepidation before the incomprehensibility of the universe. The sky, the stars, the moon move in a certain undulating rhythm. First of all, the canvas conveys the unreal feelings and emotions that overflow the artist, it is written not spontaneously, although carefully arranged.

The delicate pallor of green and yellow colors contrasts well with the light of night lights.
“Starry Night” was written in the autumn of 1889, when the artist was already seriously ill and was in a French hospital. To make his story even more complete and complete, he goes out at night to the street and draws a fairy-tale starry sky. But for some reason its sky resembles a huge cyclone, dragging the master into a bottomless abyss, and the big stars turn into burning, bright points in the eyes…
Of course, we can perceive this canvas as a manifestation of hallucinations of a sick artist. After all, we can not understand the world in which great geniuses live.
