During the same month of September, he finally realised his obsessive project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He first painted a corner of nocturnal sky in Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/entity\/m0knf8\">Arles<\/a>&nbsp;(Otterlo, Rijksmuseum Kr\u00f6ller-Muller). Next came this view of the Rh\u00f4ne in which he marvellously transcribed the colours he perceived in the dark. Blues prevail: Prussian blue, ultramarine and cobalt. The city gas lights glimmer an intense orange and are reflected in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stars sparkle like gemstones.A few months later, just after being confined to a mental institution,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/entity\/m07_m2\">Van Gogh<\/a>&nbsp;painted another version of the same subject: Starry Night (New York, MoMA), in which the violence of his troubled psyche is fully expressed.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/entity\/m07j7r\">Trees<\/a>&nbsp;are shaped like flames while the sky and stars whirl in a cosmic vision. The Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;Orsay\u2019s Starry Night is more serene, an atmosphere reinforced by the presence of a couple of lovers at the bottom of the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-1024x649.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-1024x649.png 1024w, https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-768x487.png 768w, https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image.png 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starry Night over the Rhone Vincent van Gogh1888 From the moment of his arrival in Arles, on 8 February 1888, Van Gogh was constantly preoccupied with the representation of &#8220;night effects&#8221;.In April 1888, he wrote to his brother Theo: &#8220;I &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/?p=6047\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9UlSD-1zx","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6047"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6047"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6050,"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6047\/revisions\/6050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/antconsultingltd.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
