A final art show in Arles

Van Gogh and the Stars is the exhibit that just opened here at the Fondation Vicent Van Gogh.  The centerpiece of this show is the Starry Night painting which was painted by Van Gogh, in 1888, looking out over the Rhone River, just a few meters from where it is currently displayed.  It is on loan from the Musee d'Orsay in Paris. Lovely piece.

The works of other artists who connected to the stars in various ways were presented as well.
