Enjoy a Creative and Relaxing PaintEvent in Zurich!
In our „Paint Like“ Events, selected paintings are recreations of works by artists from various times. As usual, the event host will guide you step by step through the painting while you are free to choose another color or canvas size.
About Van Gogh and this painting:
Widely hailed as Van Gogh’s magnum opus, the painting depicts the view outside his sanatorium room window at night, although it was painted from memory during the day.
Starry Night depicts a dreamy interpretation of the artist’s asylum room’s sweeping view of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Though Van Gogh revisited this scene in his work on several occasions, „Starry Night“ is the only nocturnal study of the view.
One has the impression that the artist has expelled his inner conflict onto a canvas. Everything here is brewed in a huge cosmic fusion. The sole exception is the village in the foreground with its architectural elements.
Van Gogh’s treatment of his motifs prompts associations with fire, mist and the sea,and the elemental power of the natural scene combines with the intangible cosmic drama of the stars. The eternal natural universe cradles the human settlement idyllically, yet also surrounds it menacingly. The village itself might be anywhere, Saint-Remy or Nuenen recalled in a nocturnal mood. The church spire seems to be stretching up into the elements, at once an antenna and a lightning conductor, like some kind of provincial Eiffel Tower (the fascination of which was never far from van Gogh’s nocturnes).
The cypress represents immortality. In the painting, the tree reaches into the sky, serving as a direct connection between the earth and the heavens. This positive interpretation of the cypress symbolism hearkens back to a letter to his brother in which the artist likened death to a train that travels to the stars.
Please note: Unlike our standard guided PaintEvents (mostly 2hrs), the instructions here are verbal. Rolando is happy to provide visual instructions (demonstration on a canvas) as well if needed.
