The sky on

Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh
Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" is an iconic depiction of the night sky, painted in 1889 in southern France. Its swirling brushstrokes bring the heavens to life, even if the precise celestial objects are debated by art historians. This post-impressionist masterpiece captures the emotional power of the cosmos.
