THE STARRY NIGHT


The Starry Night is a famous painting by Vincent Van Gogh painted in June 1889. It is an oil on canvas and it belongs to postimpressionism. In this painting we can see the view from the east-facing window of the room of the painter, just before sunrise, with the addition of a village.
The colours that appear in this painting are shades of blue, black and brown and all shades of white, cream, yellow and orange. Van Gogh uses in this painting organic shapes like swirling wind, a black tree, a lot of stars, the moon and rolling hills. In this painting there are some parts larger than others, for example, the big black tree stands out from the small village set near the bottom. We can also see the village with buildings with just enough light to be noticed, and other buildings, like the church, that are dark. However, the real action is what there are above the town, where the moon and stars light up the sky. Light moves across the sky, defeating the dark sky wherever it is found.
In my opinion, it is a really masterpiece. I love this painting because I love the night and particularly here, because it is a mixture of colours and light.

Picture description, the nap

This painting, was painted by a very famous painter, Vicent van Gohg. He painted this masterpiece in 1890, in France. The style of this extraordinary painter was the postimpressionism, it was a pictorial movement that developed strongly in the second half of the 19th century. It  broke the academic, social and economic because of this art.In the picture, we can see two persons taking a nap on a haystack , and a horse with a little trailer near another haystack. In this picture we can see many different colours, we can see that's compound with a huge variety of colours, mainly composed with ranges of oranges and blues. In this masterpiece, Vicent van Gogh wanted to express many different feelings, mainly the peace that transmits the nature, because he can't talk with other people and he needs to transmits his feelings through his paintings.In my opinion, this is a beautiful painting, because it's a masterpiece and the history behind this painting is very interesting.
