Van Gogh Nightscapes

Though his most well known, Starry Night, is only one of many landscapes Van Gogh painted depicting the night.

His nighttime paintings carry a beautiful contrast of a full range of blues with golds and yellows radiating out of the stars, reflecting across sky and water. These nightscapes are particularly stunning as his style highlights the flow of light through the scene.

Whether behind nature or featuring cities, Van Gogh's skies always illuminate the ground with light, bringing a peaceful and magical mood to the paintings.
