Starry Night Van Gogh

The Starry Night is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village. Wikipedia Night, Oh Night! You are blue.., From my window, I watch... the imposing hills emerge into azure sky,  the tiny humble village slumbers at the bottom,  black, brown, grey….and cobalt!! I watch the brightest star ~ Is it Venus..alluring and gleaming? right beside the Cypress, tall, and soaring,   To my eyes, the night dazzles...  Seductive moon and thousands of stars glimmer in   turbulent agitated swirling waves ~ but the towering tree.. Oh the preponderant symbol of melancholy and death,  rejecting the church, the tranquil village at the base,  reaching the sky! That’s how all-powerful Death overtakes everything,  In death we walk to the star!
