Звёздная ночь
The canvas is dominated by shades of blue. Van Gogh masterfully depicted the night sky, but did not make it depressingly dark.
The sky turned out to be surprisingly alive for the artist. It seems that the yellow stars and the moon are not frozen, but moving. This is how van Gogh reminds us of the changeability of life.
In the foreground of the painting, you can see a large cypress tree pointing to the sky. Van Gogh filigreed the tree, so it also turned out to be extremely alive, moving, and not frozen in severe immobility.
The background shows a city with a valley. If you look closely, you can see how accurately each house is made. For the image of the valley and the city, the artist used blue colors, so the picture does not look gloomy.
