*** About the Starlit Stroll on the Rhone River Embankment: This poignant work was created in 1888, a period that marks some of Vincent van Gogh’s most prolific years, where he extensively captured the essence of nocturnal scenery. The painting is a quintessential example of van Gogh's innovative use of the then-emerging Pointillism technique, merged with his unique brush strokes that add a texture almost tangible in its intensity. Inspired by his time in Arles, France, this painting reflects his deep admiration for the night, which he believed was more colorful than the day. Currently, this painting is thought to be held in a private collection, occasionally loaned to major museums for special exhibitions on Post-Impressionist art.
