Our first impression of the The Starry Night picture is the rolling rhythm of the sky – that seems to fill the whole canvas. But presently we see that this is no cataclysm engulfing the earth. The tree shoots up in flame-like projection, and the village nestles tranquilly around its church beneath a surge of sky that is not so much awful as magnificent.

For an explanation of the kind of symbolism Van Gogh aimed at, we can do no better than to quote the artist himself, writing to his brother a year earlier from Arles:

“I am always in hope of making a discovery (in the study of color), to express the love of two lovers by a marriage of two complementary colors, their mingling and their opposition, the mysterious vibrations of kindred tones… To express hope by some star, the eagerness of a soul by a sunset radiance. Certainly there is nothing in that of stereoscopic realism, but is it not something that actually exists?”

The Van Gogh Starry Night is a late work. But if little remains of an Impressionist character in its technique, there is still some in its nocturnal illumination, its truth, and its moving comprehension of nature as transcended by an exceptional temperament.

This night Impressionism extends that of Whistler and of Degas. But the picture goes still further. In its blues and greens, its brilliance of golden stars, it contains the mystery of all creation.

Its awesome grandeur and turbulent starlight seem to reflect Van Gogh’s feelings that he was only an instrument in the creative process of the universe. In a letter to Théo he wrote:

“That is the eternal question, is life all that there is of life or do we only know one hemisphere before our death? Speaking for myself I have no idea what the answer is but the sight of the stars always starts me thinking”.
