Stars and lights of the buildings light up the city and the sky. It looks like a big
black cloud of smoke is covering a part of the city and sky. It might be from a building
that’s on fire. The painting is made up of dark colours with lighted colours dotted here
and there. The colours are blended very well. There is movement in the painting. I think
there is a wind blowing and the smoke is spreading. The atmosphere is sad because it is a
cold and dark painting. The buildings are very small in the distance and the clouds of
smoke seem to be up close. I think Van Gogh is trying to tell us that he is sitting in
his window and he is warm but the city is cold.
Sarah When the people of the village see the starry sky, they know that God is watching over
them and that they don’t have to be scared anymore. The artist uses yellow, orange, black,
green and grey. Everything in the painting is still. There is a happy atmosphere about
this painting. I think this painting is a great way to express your feelings.
It is a very dull dark night but there are swirls in the sky. It is a very still scene
but the swirls and stars seem to be moving. The black flame is up close and the mountains
and houses are in the background. There are big strokes used in the swirls and small
strokes in the houses. I think that it is a sad picture and that the artist is trying to
tell us that he is sad.
