This is the painting he used as a starry background. He continued to paint Starry Night over the Rhône (painted in the same month), and a year later painted his famous Starry Night. Van Gogh also painted starlit backgrounds.
This work would help shape the work of painters throughout history, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Gentileschi, Rembrandt, Turner, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Cézanne.
