Diving into van Gogh

Wanting to find a specific

painting and accompanied "caption text" by van Gogh (I had seen before), I browsed through > 1900 paintings and drawings

and noticed that in the beginning basically all was black and white and focused on peasant life. After moving to France there is suddenly bright colors, and nudes (humans and torso) and churches and city life. And also the element of water appears. And then in the end I found the painting I was looking for.

Quote : "According to the Hermitage Museum, the painting "expresses the great psychological tension under which Van Gogh found himself"; two of the windows, considered the "eyes" of a home, are rendered with "alarming" red splashes, while the star, a sign of fate, is seen as symbolic of van Gogh's anguish."
