When exhibited for the first time, in 1891, the painting was entitled Coffeehouse, in the evening ("Café, le soir"). This is the first painting in which he used starry backgrounds; he went on to paint star-filled skies in "Starry Night Over the Rhône" (painted the same month), and the better known "The Starry Night" a year later. Van Gogh also painted a starlight background in "Portrait of Eugène Boch". Van Gogh mentioned the "Cafe Terrace" painting in a letter written

Van Gogh's written statements concerning these paintings provide further insight into his intentions for painting night studies in general and "The Starry Night" in particular. Soon after his arrival in Arles in February 1888, Van Gogh wrote to Theo, "I . . . need a starry night with cypresses or—perhaps above a field of ripe wheat; there are some really beautiful nights here." That same week, he wrote to Bernard, "A starry sky is something I should like to try to do, just

Art historian Sven Loevgren expands on Schapiro's approach, again calling "The Starry Night" a "visionary painting" which "was conceived in a state of great agitation." He writes of the "hallucinatory character of the painting and its violently expressive form," although he takes pains to note that the painting was not executed during one of Van Gogh's incapacitating breakdowns.

Finally, in a letter to painter Émile Bernard from late November 1889, Van Gogh referred to the painting as a "failure." Van Gogh argued with Bernard and, especially, Paul Gauguin as to whether one should paint from nature, as Van Gogh preferred, or paint what Gauguin called "abstractions": paintings conceived in the imagination, or "de tête". In the letter to Bernard, Van Gogh recounted his experiences when Gauguin lived with him for nine weeks in the fall and winter

He had painted his series of sunflowers in Arles, and he painted the series of cypresses and wheat fields at Saint-Rémy. "The Starry Night" belongs to this latter series, as well as to a small series of nocturnes he initiated in Arles. The nocturne series was limited by the difficulties posed by painting such scenes from nature, i.e., at night. The first painting in the series was "Café Terrace at Night", painted

Although Van Gogh was not very happy with the painting, art historian Joachim Pissarro cites "The Starry Night" as an exemplar of the artist's fascination with the nocturnal.

In an April 1888, letter to Bernard, Van Gogh referred to "funereal cypresses," though this is possibly similar to saying "stately oaks" or "weeping willows." One week after painting "The Starry Night", he wrote to his brother Theo, "The cypresses are always occupying my thoughts. I should like to make something of them like the canvases of the sunflowers, because it astonishes me that they have not yet

Hulsker thought a landscape on the reverse F1541r was also a study for the painting. Despite the large number of letters Van Gogh wrote, he said very little about "The Starry Night". After reporting that he had painted a starry sky in June, Van Gogh next mentioned the painting

Art historian Lauren Soth also finds a symbolist subtext in "The Starry Night", saying that the painting is a "traditional religious subject in disguise" and a "sublimated image of [Van Gogh's] deepest religious feelings." Citing Van Gogh's avowed admiration for the paintings of Eugène Delacroix, and especially the earlier painter's use of Prussian blue and citron yellow in paintings of Christ, Soth theorizes that Van Gogh used these colors to represent Christ in "The Starry Night". He criticizes Schapiro's and Loevgren's biblical interpretations, dependent as they are on a reading of the crescent moon as incorporating elements

neg: The Starry Night Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith concur, saying that Van Gogh "telescoped" the view in certain of the pictures of the view from his window, and it stands to reason that Van Gogh would do this in a painting featuring the morning star. Such a compression of depth serves to enhance the brightness of planet. Soth uses Van Gogh's statement to his brother, that "The Starry Night" is "an exaggeration from the point of view of arrangement" to further his argument that the painting is "an amalgam of images." However, it is by no means certain that Van Gogh was

It is in light of such symbolist interpretations of "The Starry Night" that art historian Albert Boime presents his study of the painting. As noted above, Boime has proven that the painting depicts not only the topographical elements of Van Gogh's view from his asylum window but also the celestial elements, identifying not only Venus but also the constellation Aries. He suggests that Van Gogh originally intended to paint a gibbous moon but "reverted to a more

He calls "The Starry Night" "an infinitely expressive picture which symbolizes the final absorption of the artist by the cosmos" and which "gives a never-to-be-forgotten sensation of standing on the threshold of eternity."

After having initially held it back, Van Gogh sent "The Starry Night" to Theo in Paris on 28 September 1889, along with nine or ten other paintings. Theo died less than six months after Vincent, in January 1891. Theo's widow, Jo, then became the caretaker of Van Gogh's legacy. She sold the painting to poet Julien Leclercq in Paris in 1900, who turned around and sold it to Émile Schuffenecker, Gauguin's old friend,

When Van Gogh calls "The Starry Night" a failure for being an "abstraction," he places the blame on his having painted "stars that are too big." While stopping short of calling the painting a hallucinatory vision, Naifeh and Smith discuss "The Starry Night" in the context of Van Gogh's mental illness, which they identify as temporal lobe epilepsy, or latent epilepsy. "Not the kind," they write, "known since antiquity, that caused the limbs to jerk and the body to collapse ('the falling sickness', as it was sometimes called), but a "mental" epilepsy—a seizing up of

He asserts that the only non-realistic elements of the painting are the village and the swirls in the sky. These swirls represent Van Gogh's understanding of the cosmos as a living, dynamic place.

He used violet in many of his paintings of the 1880s, including his paintings of irises and the swirling and mysterious skies of his starry night paintings, and often combined it with it complementary color, yellow.
