This work is also considered to be the painter's most famous work. That's why the Van Gogh Starry Night duo has been inseparable for art lovers for years.

If we talk about the technical information about this painting made in 1889, it was produced during the painter's stay in the sanatorium.

Story of The Starry Night
In the previous part of the article, we said that the work belongs to the artistic artist's sanatorium times. Let's explain this situation and the story of the starry night painting in more detail: As many art lovers know, the painter Van Gogh had an argument with his friend, Gauguin, on Christmas night in 1888. As a result of this discussion, he cut off the lower part of himself's left ear with the line he was chasing his friend. Having experienced such unfortunate events during a period of depression, the painter agreed to receive medical treatment for a temporary period in order not to lose his will to work and his capacity, and in this context, he asked to be temporarily confined to a mental hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. This request resulted in the production of many elite paintings.
Although paintings such as Les Alpilles and The Doctor are some of the most popular paintings produced during this period, the Saint-Remy period will be remembered primarily with the birth of the Van Gogh Starry Night duo. Because during his stay here, Van Gogh wrote something to his brother: "I saw the countryside from my window this morning, long before sunrise, with nothing but the morning star that looked so big." Here is the inspiration in these words, this unique landscape engraved in the artist's mind, a starry sky and the reflection of the night on the artist's soul; it went beyond just witnessing a moment, and the artist memorized this landscape that he spoke about. Until he poured it onto the canvas and revealed that unique work, the starry night painting...
