Starry Night Coloring Page

Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night in 1889, while he was staying at a hospital in the south of France. From his bedroom window he could watch the hills before sunrise, but he painted the picture in the daytime, from memory. The little village was added from his imagination.

The bright star near the tall, dark cypress tree is probably the planet Venus. Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo about watching the morning star from his window. The painting now hangs at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
