This earlier Starry Before dawn is ofttimes overlooked. Painted with oil on canvas, the scene features a coinciding colour scheme and winding method. It marks an earlier shot Car Gogh make-believe to stain at darkness and select what he considered to be blaze, alive and compelling.


Dimensions


The Starry After dark, painted in 1889, is oil on canvas, measuring 29 inches by 36 1/4 inches.


Vincent Van Gogh was a religious man for most of his life and drew a church steeple into the painting. Many believe the 11 stars in the painting signify a quote in Genesis alluding to 11 stars. This is so far unproved.

Reproduction




The painting consists mostly of blues, greens and yellows, combined in swirls and various hues. The painting highly contrasts light and dark hues in both the foreground and background.
