Vincent van Gogh is considered the greatest Dutch painter after Rembrandt, although he remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life. He suffered from mental illness. He died from a self inflected gunshot at the age 37. He's who this song is about. I love this song.

Yes, The Starry Night, probably the most well known of his works Did you know that Van Gogh painted this picture during the daylight hours from memory ? I've always loved this painting, I have a copy in my den It's so sad to know that he lived a life of poverty and mental illness never to know how loved and revered his works would one day be. This song has always touched something deep in my soul.

No, I didn't know he painted his picture from memory. This has also been a favorite of mine for years, I have it on my Favorites list. Don Mclean also has American Pie, another great song.

Van Gogh painted another entirely different picture entitled 'Starry Night Over the Rhone.' which I think , is just as good, but probably less well known.
