Van Gogh’s famous painting: The Starry Night. History has it that Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in the mental hospital, and that the landscape in the painting is the view Van Gogh had from his window. He depicted the view at different times of day and under various weather conditions, including sunrise, moonrise, sunshine-filled days, overcast days, windy days, and one day with rain. 

Art critics at the time were convinced that Van Gogh’s signature style, characterized by bright and heavy brushstrokes, was sloppy, crude and childish. Van Gogh used his exaggerated and expressive brushstrokes to visualize the way he felt inside and reveal his personal impressions of whatever subject he happened to paint. The art of Van Gogh was largely unappreciated during his own life and in his own society. He himself considered the piece as a failure, even though it’s hung in museums and is worth millions today.
