Starry Night over the Rhone is one of Vincent van Gogh 's famous paintings of Arles at night. Vincent's fascination with the heavens and stars were the inspiration for some of his most famous paintings, including Cafe Terrace at Night and The Starry Night. The perspective he chose for Starry Night over the Rhone allowed him to capture the reflections of the gas lighting in Arles across the glimmering blue water of the Rhone. The sky above is illuminated by the constellation known as the Great Bear. In the fore ground, two lovers enjoy the soft, soothing night light as they stroll by the banks of the river.
