2. The Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
One never understands the genuine benefit of something until it is gone for eternity. This line stands true for the Dutch virtuoso Vincent Van Gogh who, in his whole lifetime sold no paintings. The Starry Night was painted by Van Gogh in the year 1889.
It delineates the night over the town of Saint Remy with an excellent swirling sky, as seen from the refuge in the north.
The way the shades in this painting have blended and mixed with one another is a wonder that can be replicated by few others.
One regularly celebrates days and mornings yet Van Gogh has appropriately brought out the magnificence of the ever so puzzling nights. This painting is on changeless showcase at Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA.
