This painting, known as "Starry Night Over the Rhône", was created by Van Gough in September 1888, in France. This piece caught my attention because of its similarity to his well-known painting "Starry Night", such as his use of similar colors and the effect of light at night. I like this piece because of the use of simple brush strokes in various colors in order to bring definition and depth to the painting. I like in particular how he used yellow horizontal brush strokes on the water to represent the lights reflecting. Although this painting is very simplistic on the whole, the little details and variations in color make this painting as a classic Van Gough piece.
