Van Gogh painted Starry Night from memory while in the asylum at Saint-Rémy, in June 1889.
The scene in the painting is of a swirling skyscpe filled with yellow glowing stars above a small town and rolling hills. There is a large dark formation left of center. It is debatable what this is, but it's purpose seems to be to direct the eye towards the sky. There is also a church steeple in the town pointing towards the sky.
The painting was the inspiration for Don McLean's "Starry, Starry Night".
