Starry Night One of Van Gogh’s most famous works, Starry Night, was painted while he was staying in a mental hospital (then known as an asylum) in Saint-Remy De Provence in 1889, sometime after the ear incident. This was not the first time that Van Gogh was hospitalised, he had been admitted after cutting off a part of his ear, but this time he committed himself into the hospital. His mental illnesses had begun to get the better of him and it wasn’t just the epilepsy he had to contend with, he also suffered from delusions and psychotic attacks as well as very possibly being bi-polar. "An interesting fact about Vincent Van Gogh is not that he suffered from poor health. Which he did. Or even that his mental problems may have led him to cut off his ear. Which it did. An interesting fact about Vincent Van Gogh is that his epilepsy, caused by a brain lesion, caused by an overuse of absinthe, was treated with a medicine that many believe made him see yellow spots. Others believe that it was the lesion itself that caused him to see yellow. This may be why so many of his paintings use many yellow shades or include yellow spots, for example, Starry Night or Sunflowers." People as Pixels. Posted by Tommy Graham on Facebook last Saturday.
