About this work

Painted in June 1889 from the east-facing window of Van Gogh's room at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, this view combines what he observed before sunrise with invention: the swirling sky and cypress tree were reworked from memory and imagination rather than copied directly from life.

Van Gogh painted the scene in thick, directional strokes of blue and yellow, building the sky into rolling waves around a crescent moon and eleven stars. He considered it a lesser effort at the time, writing to Theo that it was 'a study of night,' yet it is now MoMA's most-visited work.

The Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh, 1889: on stretched canvas

Stretched canvas

Archival canvas stretched over 1.5″ solid wood stretcher bars. At gallery depth the canvas stands off the wall on its own, so it looks finished with no frame at all.

The image wraps around the edges, so the painting carries on around the sides, and it arrives with hanging wire installed, ready to go straight on the wall.

How big is the original Starry Night?

The original is 92.1 cm wide and 73.7 cm high (36½" × 29"). That is roughly the size of a flat-screen TV, large enough to hold a wall on its own. Our 40"×32" print is close to actual size. Below, it is shown at true scale over an 84" sofa.

Frequently asked questions

All questions →
Will the colours match my screen?

Close, but not identical — screens emit light and prints reflect it, so tones read a little warmer on paper. We work from the museum's own high-resolution image wherever possible. If the colours aren't what you hoped for, our 90-day happiness guarantee covers you.

How big will it actually look?

Every size is listed in inches. Prints come in six standard shapes, so most paintings are cropped slightly to the closest one, and we never stretch a painting or pad it with white bars. Each artwork page shows the print against the original dimensions.

What if it arrives damaged?

If your print arrives damaged or is lost in transit, we'll replace it free or refund you. Email us your order number and a photo within 90 days of delivery.

How soon will it arrive?

Every print is made to order. It's printed within 3 business days and delivered within 5 more, so it arrives within 8 business days. Tracking is included.

What are the prints made of?

Fine art prints use 340gsm cold press fine art paper, 100% cotton rag and acid-free, with archival inks. Cold press paper is pressed between cold rollers, which leaves a subtle natural texture like watercolour paper, and its matte surface has no glare. Canvases use 360gsm archival canvas, stretched over solid wood stretcher bars.

Canvas, framed or fine art print?

Canvas is stretched over solid wood stretcher bars and ready to hang. Framed prints are canvases set in a floating frame, with no glass, and also arrive ready to hang. Fine art prints are printed on cotton rag paper, ship flat or rolled in a tube depending on size, ready for your own frame, and are the lower-cost way to start.
