Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhône is a masterpiece that captures the tranquil beauty of Arles, France, under a starlit sky. Painted in 1888, this work showcases Van Gogh’s fascination with the interplay of light, water, and the night sky. The painting features the Rhône River gently reflecting the golden glow of gas lamps from the nearby town, creating a shimmering path across the water’s surface. Above, the sky is adorned with a constellation of stars, painted in Van Gogh’s signature swirling brushstrokes, giving the scene a sense of movement and vitality.
