"Starry Night," one of the most iconic paintings in art history, was created by the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh in June 1889. Currently housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, this masterpiece depicts a swirling night sky filled with stars over a small village. Van Gogh's innovative use of color and brushwork gives the painting a sense of movement and emotional depth, showcasing his unique style. The painting reflects the artist's feelings of loneliness and inspiration that he experienced during his time at an asylum in France, capturing an ethereal connection to nature.
