Vincent van Gogh

The Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh created over 2,100 artworks and nearly 900 oil paintings in his short life. Starry Night and Sunflowers are probably the best known of all van Gogh's paintings. Starry Night depicts the view from the window of his room in the asylum at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, while Sunflowers is a series of four paintings of sunflowers - originally planned to be part of a panel of twelve which he envisaged would be “a symphony in blue and yellow”.
