The Starry Night is viewed as among Van Gogh's finest works. what's more, is a standout amongst the most perceived depictions ever. It has been in the changeless accumulation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1941, obtained through the Lillie P. Rapture Bequest.

In spite of the fact that The Starry Night was painted amid the day in Van Gogh's ground-floor studio, it is off base to express that the photo was painted from memory. The view has been recognized as the one from his window, confronting east, a view which Van Gogh painted varieties of no less than twenty-one times,[citation needed] including The Starry Night. "Through the iron-banished window," he kept in touch with his sibling, Theo, around 23 May 1889, "I can see an encased square of wheat . . . above which, early in the day, I watch the sun ascend in all its transcendence."

Van Gogh portrayed the view at various circumstances of day and under different climate conditions, including dawn, moonrise, daylight filled days, cloudy days, blustery days, and one day with rain. While the healing facility staff did not enable Van Gogh to paint in his room, he was capable there to make portrays in ink or charcoal on paper; in the end he would construct more current varieties with respect to past forms. The pictorial component joining these artistic creations is the corner to corner line rolling in from the correct delineating the low moving slopes of the Alpilles mountains. In fifteen of the twenty-one forms, cypress trees are unmistakable past the far divider encasing the wheat field. Van Gogh extended the view in six of these[vague] compositions, most prominently in F717 Wheat Field with Cypresses and The Starry Night, conveying the trees nearer to the photo plane.[citation needed]

One of the primary compositions of the view was F611 Mountainous Landscape Behind Saint-Rémy, now in Copenhagen. Van Gogh made various representations for the artwork, of which F1547 The Enclosed Wheatfield After a Storm is run of the mill. It is indistinct whether the depiction was made in his studio or outside. In his June 9 letter depicting it, he specifies he had been working outside for a couple of days. Van Gogh depicted the second of the two scenes he specifies he was chipping away at, in a letter to his sister Wil on 16 June 1889 This is F719 Green Field, now in Prague, and the main painting at the haven he certainly painted outside en plein air. F1548 Wheat field, Saint-Rémy de Provence, now in New York, is an examination for it. After two days, Vincent composed Theo that he had painted "a starry sky".

The Starry Night is the main nocturne in the arrangement of perspectives from his window. Toward the beginning of June, Vincent kept in touch with Theo, "early today I saw the farmland from my window quite a while before dawn with only the morning star, which looked extremely big"Researchers have discovered that Venus was in fact noticeable at first light in Provence in the spring of 1889, and was around then about as splendid as would be prudent. So the brightest "star" in the work of art, just to the watcher's privilege of the cypress tree, is really Venus.

The moon is adapted, as cosmic records show that it really was melting away gibbous at the time Van Gogh painted the photo, and regardless of whether the period of the moon had been its fading sickle at the time, Van Gogh's moon would not have been cosmically right. (For different elucidations of the moon, see underneath.) The one pictorial component that was certainly not noticeable from Van Gogh's cell is the town, which depends on an outline F1541v produced using a slope over the town of Saint-Rémy. Pickvance thought F1541v was done later, and the steeple more Dutch than Provençal, a conflation of a few Van Gogh had painted and attracted his Nuenen period, and in this manner the first of his "thinks back of the North" he was to paint and draw early the next year. Hulsker thought a scene on the invert F1541r was likewise an examination for the canvas.
