The most illusion painting “ STARRY NIGHT” 

     Have you ever seen the painting Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh? If not, it will be the pity in your life. He made a lot of famous artistic designs, and Starry Night is one of this. Clarify that sky and the cypress are the essential objects that overwhelm the viewer and overshadow the small village creating a scary feeling about the chaos overpowering the calm village.

       The first thing I noticed was overwhelming night sky,which takes up most of the background. As we can see, eleven fiery yellow stars that look like the huge fireballs illuminate this whole piece and contrast with the cool blue, fluid night sky that takes on an amazing variety of shades of blue and grey. It has this writhing quality to it and its black green.There is also a crescent moon at the top right hand corner that radiates more orange,brighter light from other stars. And then let’s look at the Cypress. It seems to somewhat dampen the dazzling effect of the night sky with its writhing, dark leaves sprawling up on the left side of the picture. It has this snaky form to it and seems totally uncharacteristic with the rest of the painting. I think it disturbs the whole equilibrium to what had could have been a magical depiction of a starry night. The view of the night sky and village is partially blocked by this huge cypress bush in the foreground.

    The other thing I saw it was that the little house, it is tiny and inconspicuous painted in the bottom right corner of the painting and blend in quite well with the forest and mountains.The architecture of  the village quant and simple and no light illuminates of  village. Giving an impression that everyone probably sleep. All the lights are out and everybody's asleep, unaware of the night sky that's bursting with life and the cypress bush writhing in front of them. This depicts some sort of alienation and ignorance. I also feel that the sleepy village represents the rest of the world, unaware of whatever raging passions and agony Van Gogh was going through at that moment. Perhaps this is why the houses seem to appear so far away even though they are actually more or less in the foreground. If we try to overlook this painting, we could see the painting has an illusion of constantly being in motion.

        Through this painting, I feel that Van Gogh probably was hardly able to contain his feeling sand that all his angst and passion seems to have spilled onto this pieces. The moon and stars seem so huge that we feel that the sky is about to fall in on us. The cypress bush, a usually inconspicuous and solemn funeral plant seems almost sinister as it confronts us right smack in front of the picture. The painting seems to be seething with life as the fluid brushstrokes give the impression of movement. In particular, it's the night sky that seems to be the life force of this piece with its bursting dynamism. It seems as if galaxies are in motion and that the stars would plunge into the sleepy town at any moment.The stars and the sky seem to possess such great emotional intensity with its variety of strokes and colors all merging together to form a spiral-like mist in the centre.
