Chapel Hill: Rain on The Starry Night

November 07, 2014 by onfranklin&main in On the Street, On the Street/Chapel Hill, People

Reproduced in repetition on this umbrella is Van Gogh's The Starry Night (1889). It is perhaps the artist's best-known piece. The painting depicts the night sky outside Van Gogh's window during his stay at a mental institution in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France. Van Gogh committed himself to the hospital in 1889 after he severed his ear with a razor. He later delivered the ear wrapped in paper to a brothel he frequented. It was at the hospital that he arguably created his best work including the blue self portrait.
