Painted in the asylum at Saint-Rémy, from memory and imagination, of the view east from his window before sunrise. A flame-like cypress links the village to a sky churning with light. Van Gogh himself thought it a failure.
Look closer
The bright "star" just right of the cypress is probably Venus, which was visible at dawn from Saint-Rémy that June.
