Sunflowers and the Golden Silence

Starry Night Over the Rhône 菠蘿選画所 Starry Night Over the Rhône was created during the peak of Van Gogh's artistic productivity. He was deeply fascinated by the scenery of the night and once said, "The night is more richly colored than the day." Van Gogh used thick brushstrokes and swirling techniques to make the stars radiate with a sense of vibration and flow, expressing his emotional impression of the night sky—mysterious, tranquil, yet full of vitality. The small couple in the lower right corner adds a touch of humanity to the painting. Amid the vast night sky and the silent river, they seem to symbolize humanity—small, yet full of emotion and hope. Starry Night Over the Rhône reveals Van Gogh's deep insights into nature, light, and the night, and reflects his continuous pursuit of ideals and emotional expression through art. It is not only a visual feast, but also a dialogue with the soul.
