Vincent van Gogh and the stars.
van Gogh made several paintings of starry nights, the most famous of which is entitled simply The Starry Night (Saint Rémy, 1889). It is on exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

An earlier example of van Gogh’s starry nights is the Starry Night Over the Rhone (La Nuit étoilée, Arles,1888), which is also a quite famous painting. It belongs to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris.

A piece of the night sky with stars is also visible in the famous painting Café Terrace at Night of the Terrace Café Place du Forum, Arles, 1888. This café has since been renamed Café van Gogh and is now a tourist attraction at Place du Forum in Arles. Some will say tourist trap, unfortunately. The painting belongs to the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, the Netherlands.
