Starry Night Over the Rhone was painted along the banks of the Rhine River. What I first see when I look at this painting is the city lights reflecting off the water while a couple takes a walk on the nearby shore. The sky is filled with stars‚ including the Great Bear‚ commonly known as the Big Dipper. Van Gogh shifted the sky around in order to create an even more extraordinary display of stars. From his point of view the town of Arles lay to the south west; the Big Dipper he painted in the sky

The painting shows a town at night‚ which is asleep‚ quiet and peaceful. During

Either way many viewers will interpret their actions differently
