*** About Starry Night Over the Rhone: Painted in September 1888 while Van Gogh was residing in Arles, "Starry Night Over the Rhone" is a remarkable expression of the artist's fascination with the luminescence of the night. Capturing the reflections of gas lighting in the water, the painting is a technicolor precursor to his later and more famous work, "The Starry Night." This artwork is a splendid display of Van Gogh's transition towards greater expressionism, marked by his dynamic brushwork and the use of color to convey emotion. The inspiration for this masterpiece came from the artist's nightly walks along the Rhone River, where he was captivated by the play of light in the darkness. Currently, the painting is housed in the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be a testament to Van Gogh’s revolutionary approach to light and color in painting.
