A night sky churns with spirals of blue and white above a sleeping village, a crescent moon and stars ringed with haloes, and a dark cypress rising like a flame on the left. Van Gogh painted it in June 1889 from memory and imagination in his room at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole in Saint-Rémy, where he had admitted himself a month earlier. The view from his window gave him the hills; the village and church steeple are partly invented. The paint is thick and the strokes are long and rhythmic, so the sky reads as movement rather than depth. He thought little of the picture himself. It went to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1941 and became the best-known image of his career.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

Swirling blues want a wall that lets them move: over a bed or sofa at 24×18 in black or natural wood. It suits a bedroom or den with low evening light; pair with Café Terrace at Night for two night scenes.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×18. Prints at 16×12, 24×18 in — 16×12 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 24×18 above a console or sideboard.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — natural wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?
The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.
Is The Starry Night in the public domain?
Yes. Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by The Museum of Modern Art.
What is it printed on?
Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 16×12 and 24×18 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.
When was The Starry Night painted, and in what medium?
The Starry Night dates from 1889 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 73.7 × 92.1 cm.
What size works above a sofa or bed?
Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×18 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×12 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For The Starry Night we'd choose 24×18. It is a landscape print, wider than it is tall, at the painting's own proportions.
