Starry Starry Night

On a recent trip to New York with the college we all went to the Museum of Modern Art - MOMA.  While in the museum I was lucky enough to see the original painting by van Gogh entitled The Starry Night.  We were allowed to take photos so here it is:


The Starry Night, Saint Remy, June 1889 Oil on Canvas by Vincent van Gogh
"This morning I saw the country from my window a long time before sunrise," the artist wrote to his brother Theo, "with nothing but the morning star, which looked very big."
