What is Starry Night? - The Cry of Van Gogh's Soul
"Starry Night" is an oil painting by Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, painted in June 1889. It is said to have been based on the scenery he saw from the window while he was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital. It is currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
This work depicts the stars and moon shining in the night sky, as well as the cypress trees and village landscape, painted with a unique touch. Van Gogh used a technique called divided brushstrokes to express the light of the stars and the movement of the night sky by applying thick layers of paint. The cypress trees reach up into the sky like flames, and the stars shine in swirling patterns, giving the entire painting a sense of movement and power.
Van Gogh's feelings in The Starry Night
Van Gogh was in a mentally unstable state when he painted "Starry Night." It is said that he projected his own inner world and his awe for nature into this work.
The swirling stars seem to represent the turmoil in Van Gogh's heart. Cypress trees also appear frequently in Van Gogh's works as a motif symbolizing death and eternity. In "Starry Night," the cypress trees stretching powerfully toward the sky may express Van Gogh's fear of death and his yearning for eternal life.
On the other hand, "Starry Night" is also a work that expresses Van Gogh's reverence for nature. He felt something sacred in the brilliance of the stars and the vastness of the night sky. Through this work, Van Gogh may have wanted to express the connection between the beauty of nature and the human soul.
