Mug Van Gogh

Painted by Vincent van Gogh in June 1889, The Starry Night is widely regarded as the Dutch painter’s magnum opus. It is, along with Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, one of the most recognized paintings in Western Art.

The view depicted in this work is from the east-facing window of Van Gogh’s asylum room in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, with the addition of an imaginary village. The Starry Night is the only nocturne painting in the series of views from his bedroom window.

Known for his bold, brilliant paintings and precarious mental health, Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in the history of Western art, forever known as one of the greatest artists of the modern era.
