Season 26, Day 13 - "Points of View"
It's "Night" week, and today's quiz is inspired by The Starry Night.
The Starry Night
Looking at the stars always makes me dream. Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France?
The Starry Night is a painting by Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Soon after van Gogh sliced his left ear with a razor, he admitted himself to an asylum in Saint-Rémy, where he would produce some of his best known works. Depicting a blue-and-yellow sky swirling over a small town and featuring 11 magnified stars and an orange crescent moon, The Starry Night was inspired by the view from van Gogh’s asylum room just before sunrise. One of van Gogh’s most recognizable works, the 1889 oil-on-canvas painting is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. The Musée d'Orsay in Paris displays an earlier Vincent van Gogh painting titled Starry Night (commonly known as Starry Night over the Rhône) from the artist’s time in Arles. A pen and ink study by van Gogh of The Starry Night is part of the Baldin Collection, a group of 364 masterpieces stolen from Germany by Soviet Army officer Victor Baldin at the end of World War II. Lego artist Nathan Sawaya once made a reproduction of Starry Night. “Starry, starry night” is the opening refrain of the Don McLean song “Vincent,” written as a tribute to van Gogh.
