Starry Night is one of the most famous masterpieces in the world. Painted in June 1889, it depicts a star-studded sky looming over an imaginary village—a view from the east-facing window of Van Gogh’s asylum room in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence just before the crack of dawn. Soon after his arrival in Arles in February 1888, Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo, "I need a starry night with cypresses or—perhaps above a field of ripe wheat; there are some really beautiful nights here." That same week, he wrote to a friend, Émile Bernard, "A starry sky is something I should like to try to do, just as in the daytime I am going to try to paint a green meadow spangled with dandelions." The painting is the manifestation of Van Gogh's cravings.
