The Brushwork throughout the painting is outstanding to say the least. For the sky they go in circles, each color blending with the clouds around the stars and moon. On a gorgeous Cypress tree, they bend with the curve of the branches.
Philosopher Alain De Botton uses Vincent Van Gough to persuade his audiences into seeing and embracing our environments so that we can full understand the extent of their impact on society/us, “It was for Van Gogh the mark of every great painter to allow us to see certain aspects of the world more clearly” this evaluative statement highlights De Botton's and Van Gough's attempt to convince the respondents of their neglectfulness to their elements in their travels and everyday lives.
