*** About The Starry Night Over the Rhone: Created during his time in Arles in September 1888, this artwork marks a significant period when Van Gogh was especially prolific in his output, just before his mental health began to deteriorate. Unlike his later work, "The Starry Night," painted from the window of his asylum room, this painting emanates a hopeful tranquility. Captivated by the reflections of the gas lighting in Arles across the calm Rhone waters, Van Gogh conveys his fascination with nocturnal views. His technique, thick impasto in a vivid palette, evokes an emotional intensity that makes the night sky and its stars burst into life. The painting now resides in the Musée d’Orsay, Paris, still captivating viewers with its vibrant energy and delicate balance of darkness and light.
