Starry Night Over the Rhone by Van Gogh
Starry Night Over the Rhone predates its more famous sibling by nearly a year, painted in Arles in September 1888. Where the later work churns with interior urgency, this one holds a different quality — expansive, almost tender. Gas lamps from the city bank stretch luminous reflections across the river's dark surface, and above, the Great Bear constellation wheels in a sky of deep Prussian blue. Two figures walk at the water's edge. Van Gogh's brushwork here is less frenzied than in the Saint-Rémy painting: broader, more considered, the reflected light breaking into short dashes that ripple with the current.
On canvas, the brushwork gains tactile presence and the colour fields deepen with a warmth that echoes the original painting's physical surface — making this canvas print a natural format for work rooted in the painted tradition.
