Kunst erklärt: „Die Sternennacht“ von Vincent van Gogh

Great Art Explained macht mal wieder einen sehr guten Job, eines der absoluten Meisterwerke der Kunstgeschichte zu erklären. Wie kam es zum Motiv „Die Sternennacht“ und was wollte Vincent van Gogh wohl damit ausdrücken?

„Vincent van Gogh was a largely self-taught artist who didn’t pick up a paintbrush until he was 30 years old. Just seven years later, he would be dead. It was really his last four years where he developed the style we would come to know him by, and these were also his most prolific years. Once he found his way, he was making up for lost time.“
