A Study Of Van Gogh Starry Night And His Other Paintings
Van Gogh Starry Night is an oil painting on a canvas substrate. It was painted in 1889 by the Dutch post-impressionist, Vincent Van Gogh (VVG)(1853-1890) shortly before he shot himself and died at the age of 37. While it is considered by many to be his ‘opus magnum’, or greatest work, this notion should not detract from the magnificence of his nearly 900 other fine efforts. The original painting of The Starry Night has been hanging in the United States Museum of Modern Art for more than sixty years.
