Judging from the composition, the composition of the picture is extremely accurate. The trees in the picture set off the sky, and the houses below hold up the boundless universe, achieving a delicate balance in composition. In particular, the lines of those cypresses are smooth and unique, as Van Gogh himself once described: "Those cypresses always occupy my mind-no one has ever painted them as I saw them, which surprised me."

The colors of this painting are mainly blue and purple, and at the same time, there are yellow and dark blue tones with shining stars, which gives people a heavy feeling and strengthens the darkness of the night. The cypress trees in the foreground are dark green and brown, which means that the night is shrouded. Bright white and yellow depict the stars and their surrounding rings, giving people a warm and bright feeling.

works appreciation

Through this painting, Van Gogh did not want to use the vast universe to reflect the smallness of human beings and make people feel scared, but wanted to convey a spirit of not bowing to fate.

The rotating nebula in the sky seems to be spinning and dancing, like a blooming flower. The flexible branches are weak, but they are fearlessly pulled to the sky. And the huge cypress tree soaring into the sky is like a black flame, spreading its branches and leaves unyieldingly. Convey the author's inner anguish and melancholy. It also shows the struggle and struggle of mankind.
