Artwork Title: "Starry Night"

Artist: Vincent van Gogh

I chose to write about Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" as it has continually held a

unique vicinity in my heart. The portrait's swirling shades and dreamlike satisfaction have

captivated me because I first encountered it in an artwork of historical elegance. The way Van

Gogh expressed his feelings and struggles through this artwork resonates with me. (Van

Gogh,2021). In "Starry Night," I see a small village with cypress timber under a sky packed

with swirling stars and a radiant crescent moon. The town sleeps under a blanket of calm,

whilst the sky appears to be in a country of perpetual motion. I can't touch the canvas; how-

ever, Van Gogh used the thick, textured brushstrokes. There's no direct sound or smell associ-

ated with the portrayal, however, the swirling styles evoke a sense of movement and a tran-

quil night.

"Starry Night" evokes an experience of serenity and marvel. The contrast between the

stillness of the village and the turmoil within the sky speaks to the human revel in of finding

solace amidst chaos. I'm struck by means of Van Gogh's capability to bring his feelings and

struggles through this masterpiece. The swirling stars symbolize the artist's tumultuous in-

ternal international. (Bailey,2018). "Starry Night" jogs my memory that art is a powerful

method of expressing emotions and connecting with others. It encourages me to discover

splendour, and that means even in difficult moments. Van Gogh's potential to seize the es-

sence of a stressed mind and convey it onto the canvas is a testament to artwork's healing and

communicative electricity. Vincent van Gogh, recognized for his struggles with mental

health, might also have been conveying a message of finding splendour and peace even amid
3

private turmoil. "Starry Night" should represent his craving for serenity and the timeless

battle to reconcile internal crises with the tranquillity of the outside world.
