*** About the Starry Night Over the Rhone: Created during his prolific stay at Arles, "Starry Night Over the Rhone" is one of Vincent van Gogh’s most profound creations, painted shortly before his famous "Starry Night." This period marks a significant phase in his artistic journey, embracing a style characterized by expressive brushwork and vibrant color palettes. The artwork reflects Van Gogh's fascination with the nocturnal view, which he described in letters to his brother Theo as both beautiful and more colorful than imagined. The inspiration is drawn directly from the view of the Rhone that Van Gogh enjoyed from his rented quarters. Complementing the shimmering water and star-laden sky, Van Gogh’s trademark swirling strokes capture the flux and movement of light. The painting is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, showcasing its perennial allure and significant historical value as a piece capturing the essence of night as seen through Van Gogh’s eyes.
