Van Gogh’s The Starry Night

     Van Gogh’s recently discovered painting is getting a lot of buzz and excitement, just 

like one of his old classics, The Starry Night did.   Yes, Van Gogh is and was very

popular and very successful with all his pieces.   All his paintings were greatly

 recognized, but today when you walk into a store you are most likely to see a 

recreation of the Van Gogh painting The Starry Night.   There are many aspects that 

made this painting separate itself from the others and shine, such as the captivating 

sky.

     Many people said this was the painting that made them feel calm and at ease... even 

happier.  It is said that the town at the bottom of the painting has dark colors that spark 

our interest.  By adding the pops of yellow and white the whole painting flows together in a well crafted 

piece of art.    The most interesting thing people found about this art was that it has a large dark structure 

off center.  No one is for sure about what it is, which makes it fun.  The viewers get to interpret what they 

are looking at.  Most people said to see it as a mountain or a leafy bush. 

     Van Gogh will always be one of the first names you think of when you hear the work art.  He was 

amazing, and who’s to say he doesn’t have plenty more paintings that people can’t credit him for yet.  All 

the buzz about this new painting is exciting and maybe it will go down in history as one of the most

 popular just like The Starry Night.

  1. Glad to see your research! Some of your formatting got a little off in the 2nd paragraph, but that doesn't mean you have any points off for that. Good work! Though Van Gogh was actually very unpopular when alive.
