Starry Night?
Question:
Answers:
Van Gogh painted Starry Night while in an Asylum at Saint-Remy in 1889. His behavior was very erratic at the time, due to the severity of his attacks. Unlike most of Van Gogh's works, Starry Night was painted from memory and not outdoors as was Vincent's preference. This may, in part, explain why the emotional impact of the work is so much more powerful than many of Van Gogh's other works from the same period.
During Van Gogh's younger years (1876-1880) he wanted to dedicate his life to evangelization of those in poverty. Many believe that this religious endeavor may be reflected in the eleven stars of the painting. In Genesis 37:9.
So, in answer to your question, while Van Gogh was considered manic-depressive by many, he was probably not. He, like most artistic geniuses, was just a little different.
absolutely not! van Gogh was not crazy, just misunderstood as a child
