The monastery functioned as a mental asylum, where Van Gogh voluntarily admitted himself on May 8, 1889, following a <a href="/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh#Hospital_in_Arles_(December_1888)" title="Vincent van Gogh">mental breakdown</a> and Van Gogh's infamous act of <a href="/wiki/Self-harm" title="Self-harm">self-mutilation</a> that occurred in late December 1888. Catering to wealthy patients, the facility was less than half full at the time of Van Gogh's admission, allowing the artist access to both a second-story bedroom and a ground-floor studio. During his year-long stay, he remained highly productive, creating <i><a href="/wiki/Irises_(painting)" title="Irises (painting)">Irises</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Van_Gogh_self-portrait_(1889)" title="Van Gogh self-portrait (1889)">a self-portrait</a>, and <i>The Starry Night</i>. </p><p>The painting's celestial elements include <a href="/wiki/Venus" title="Venus">Venus</a>, which was visible in the sky at the time, though the <a href="/wiki/Moon" title="Moon">moon’s</a> depiction is not astronomically accurate. The <a href="/wiki/Cypress_tree" class="mw-redirect" title="Cypress tree">cypress trees</a> in the foreground were exaggerated in scale compared to other works. Van Gogh's letters suggest he viewed them primarily in aesthetic rather than symbolic terms. The village in the painting is an imaginary addition, based on sketches rather than the actual landscape seen from the asylum. </p><p><i>The Starry Night</i> has been subject to various interpretations, ranging from <a href="/wiki/Religious_symbolism" class="mw-redirect" title="Religious symbolism">religious symbolism</a> to representations of Van Gogh’s emotional turmoil. Some art historians link the swirling sky to contemporary astronomical discoveries, while others see it as an expression of Van Gogh’s <a href="/wiki/Health_of_Vincent_van_Gogh" title="Health of Vincent van Gogh">personal struggles</a>. Van Gogh himself was critical of the painting, referring to it as a "failure" in letters to his brother. The artwork eventually made its way through several collectors before being acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1941.

The first two pictures are universally acknowledged to be realistic, non-composite views of their subjects.

In a letter to Gauguin in January 1889, he wrote, "As an arrangement of colours: the reds moving through to pure oranges, intensifying even more in the flesh tones up to the chromes, passing into the pinks and marrying with the olive and Veronese greens.
