The Starry Night

3D reproduction of the painting of Vincent Van Gogh's " Starry Night " from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. "Starry Night" was not the first attempt at Van Gogh depict the night sky. Van Gogh wanted to draw the starry night as an example of the power of imagination , which can create a more wonderful nature, than that which we can perceive when we look at the real world. In one of his letters he described the story of the future picture - starry night with cypresses and possibly over a field of ripe wheat . Writing in Saint-Remy "Starry Night", he fulfilled his intention. Vincent wrote to his brother Theo: "I still need a religion. Because I went out from home at night and started to paint the stars". The painting is among Van Gogh's most well-known works and marks a decisive turn towards greater imaginative freedom in his art.
