Well...I don't know the entire story but here is the basics...

While Van Gough(sorry dont know if I spelled that right) was painting he wanted it to be spontaneous. Also when you see the wind your supposed to feel the wind just looking at the brush strokes. While he was painting he said that he could hear the wind and the sky and he just couldn't take it anymore so he cut off his ear. But since he was using paint if you look at the sky color they didn't have that color back then so he had to blend colors. Also if you look at the painting or even a close up picture of it you can see that in some parts paint pops out because he put a lot of layers of color

Hoped that help...sorry I don't know a lot

The painting The Starry Night by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh from 1889 was finished one year before his death. It depicts van Gogh's view outside the window of his room at the sanitarium, where he lived the last year of his life.

He painted it while in an insane asylum. He wanted to see a starry night, so he painted one.
