This painting represents the village of Arles on a starry night. Van Gogh always liked to be in direct contact with what he painted, with natural reality, but he thought it would even be difficult to paint a night sky. He decided to paint it in his studio and came up with a rather extravagant system: he fixed candles to his hat, and in this way achieved the first open-air night view in the history of art.
