Vincent van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" of the Musée d'Orsay is more calm, the atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of a couple in love at the bottom of the canvas. The trees are shaped like flames, and the sky and stars swirl in a cosmic vision. From the moment of his arrival in Arles on February 8, 1888, Van Gogh was constantly occupied with depicting "night effects". In April 1888 he wrote to his brother Theo: "I want a starry night with cypresses or perhaps over a field of ripe wheat." In June, he confessed to the artist Emile Bernard: "But when I ever paint the Starry Sky, this picture that constantly haunts me," and in September he mentioned the same topic in a letter to his sister: "I often think that the night even more intense than the day." In the same September, he finally realized his obsessive project. He first painted a corner of the night sky at the Terrace Café on the Place du Forum, Arles (Otterlo, Rijksmuseum Kröller-Muller). Then there was this sight of Rona, in which he miraculously transcribed the colors he perceived in the dark. Predominant blues: Berlin azure, ultramarine and cobalt. The city's gas lights flash bright orange and reflect in the water. The stars sparkle like gems. A few months later, just after Van Gogh was imprisoned in a mental hospital, he wrote another version of the same theme: "Starry Night" (New York, MoMA), in which the violence of his troubled psyche is fully expressed. Vincent van Gogh's painting "Starry Night" of the Musée d'Orsay is more calm, the atmosphere is enhanced by the presence of a couple in love at the bottom of the canvas. The trees are shaped like flames, and the sky and stars swirl in a cosmic vision.
