Starry Night was painted by which artist?

• A. Vincent van Gogh
• B. Claude Monet
• C. Salvador Dali
• D. Paul Cezanne

Answer: (A)

Starry Night is Vincent van Gogh’s work. He painted it in 1889 while staying at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. The painting’s swirling night sky, glowing stars, and bold, thick brushstrokes showcase van Gogh’s expressive, emotionally charged style. This look is distinct from Monet’s focus on light and atmosphere in outdoor scenes like haystacks, Dalí’s surreal dream imagery, and Cézanne’s emphasis on geometric form in landscapes and still lifes. So, van Gogh is the artist behind this iconic piece.
