Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night in June 1889 while voluntarily committed to the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France. The swirling night sky and cypress tree depict the view from his asylum window, and the work now draws 1.5 million visitors annually to MoMA in New York.
