The Starry Night
''The Starry Night'' is an oil on canvas by the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June, 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an idealized village.〔Pickvance (1986), p. 103〕〔Naifeh & Smith, p. 747〕〔 It has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1941, acquired through the Lillie P. Bliss Bequest. It is regarded as among Van Gogh's finest works, and is one of the most recognized monuments in the history of Western culture.
==The asylum==
In the aftermath of the 23 December 1888 breakdown that resulted in the self-mutilation of his left ear,〔Naifeh & Smith, pp. 701-7〕〔Pickvance (1984), p. 159〕 Van Gogh voluntarily admitted himself to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole lunatic asylum on 8 May 1889.〔Naifeh & Smith, p. 741-3〕〔Pickvance (1986), pp. 25-6〕 Housed in a former monastery, Saint-Paul-de-Mausole catered to the wealthy and was less than half full when Van Gogh arrived,〔Naifeh & Smith, p. 746〕 allowing him to occupy not only a second-story bedroom but also a ground-floor room for use as a painting studio.〔Naifeh & Smith, p. 754〕
During the year Van Gogh stayed at the asylum, the heavy output of paintings he had begun in Arles continued.〔Naifeh & Smith, pp. 592, 778〕 During this period, he produced some of the best-known works of his career, including the ''Irises'' from May, 1889, now in the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the blue self-portrait from September, 1889, in the Musée d'Orsay. ''The Starry Night'' was painted mid-June by around 18 June, the date he wrote his brother Theo to say he had a new study of a starry sky.〔 Whitney, p. 356〕〔〔Naifeh & Smith, pp. 759-61〕
