The Starry Night

Analyzing Art Work by Different Artists from Different Periods Art is very important to people especially when it represents spirituality. It adds a strong connection between the artist and the viewers on something they both agree on. Art in the early Renaissance was mostly about spirituality, but as time passes by, artists paid less attention to spirituality, and they started adding other themes to art. I intend to show that The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, represents the scene of The…

Vincent van Gogh was a post-impressionist painter who is considered to be one of the greatest Dutch painters to ever live. One thing van Gogh is known for is the emotion in his work. I chose to write this paper about van Gogh due to this. In Starry Night, van Gogh communicates his feelings of coldness and darkness in his life. Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853, in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands. He was the child of Theodorus van Gogh and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. Theodorus was an austere country…

passion for art that he began to pay for paint instead of food to eat which led to his brother, Theo becoming very concerned for his well being and mental health. Theo had sent Paul Gaugin to watch over Vincent van Gogh, but they often argued until the night that he became so unstable that he went to a brothel where he cut his ear off in an attempt to give a prostitute named Rachel. This event in particular is what led to becoming hospitalized. Eventually, the people of Arles, where he resided…

Stemming from this period was the emotional development, which was influenced by the late century Symbolist movement and Impressionist styles. Van Gogh endure many a griefs during his lifetime.

("Vincent van Gogh 1853–1890"). After years of delirium and hallucinations, he shot himself, which led to an infection and a tragic death. Throughout the last two years of his life, he created his most famous paintings such as The Starry Night (1889), Red Vineyards (1888), and The Night Café (1888).…

and in artistic ability. I believe that I could have created Starry Night, by Vincent Van Gogh in 1889, because it is a piece that I enjoy to look at. I feel as though it speaks to me, and portrays somethings that I feel. However, I could never have created the sculpture St. Mark, by Donatello in 1413, because it was so intricate and large. It would have taken great skill in many areas to create a work of art as extravagant. Starry Night is a master piece. It uses mostly dark colors. Of the…

I chose to write about Vincent Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci. I chose Van Gogh because I think that his art although it does have a dark meaning behind it is truly beautiful. My favorite painting done by Van Gogh is his painting titled The Starry Night. I am not a huge art fan but since I can remember this is one piece that I thought was done so incredibly well. The way he expressed the way he felt about death in this was amazing he took something so dark and scary to some people and made it…

One of Van Gogh’s many accomplishments is getting The Starry Night painting put up at the Louvre museum in France (100). Even though Van Gogh had done many things to almost get himself killed, he lived long enough to know people took an interest in his art…

Throughout the ages of art, there have been many an odd character. Likely the most well-known skew ball would be Van Gogh, an artist who is widely renowned for lobbing off his own ear and painting the Starry Night. However, he was not the first nor will be the last to become famous off questionable behavior. For example, Joseph Beuys. After some exposure to the tragedies of life, he began to share his point of view through a series of performances and painting style expositions. From I like…

The possibilities of self-representation through selfies allowed the expanding of realism of one’s emotions that are freely experienced and expressed without judgment by others. Colour became symbolic in expressing internal turmoil. Selfies can also be a form of control over Self-image, letting us choose how we’re perceived. The Dutch painters, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669) painted over 40 self-portraits and Vincent Van Gogh, (1853–1890) painted over 30 self-portraits. An…
