Vincent van Gogh
Dutch Post-Impressionist artist Vincent van Gogh, painting the view from his asylum window in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence just before sunrise, although it is an idealized and imagined scene.
"Starry Night" is celebrated for its expressive, swirling sky, flame-like cypress tree, and tranquil village, and it has become a cornerstone of Western art history, residing in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC.
Despite Van Gogh himself considering the work a failure, it is now regarded as one of his greatest achievements and one of the most recognized paintings in the world.
