Starry Night, Edvard Munch. Painted six years before van Gogh’s famous nocturne, this work depicts the coastline at Åsgårdstrand, a small beach resort south of Oslo in Norway. Munch used dark hues of blue, green and red to convey a sense of mysticism and melancholy, and adopted the white of the canvas to capture the discreet light of the moon behind the clouds. In true Symbolist fashion Munch sought to convey the emotions awakened by the night sky, rather than record its picturesque qualities.
