Van Gogh painted this work of art while he was in the hall of the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence asylum. It was just before sunrise, while he was facing a window outside his room when he decided to depict her in a painting. Theo received letters from Van Gogh describing starry nights and how he spent his nights waiting for the sunrise. Starry Night was the only painting he created that was a nighttime painting depicting yellow stars, swirls of blue clouds, and a yellow half moon with a view of various darker shades of brown and blue with a view of a city below. This is by far my favorite Van Gogh artwork. I enjoy this piece so much that when I was nine years old I remember writing a little book with drawings highlighting important facts about his life. In which I drew The Starry Night and described it as the most beautiful painting in this world. Starry Night is now described as one of Van Gogh's most beautiful and famous paintings. He has resided at the Museum of Modern Art in New York since
