In this painting I can see the forming of the skies. This
painting displays the universal idea of God as the center point. Fire, air, and
earth are three of the ideas of the angelic mind and are shown in this painting
by Van Gogh. There is also a kind of beauty as one can experience the art using
the senses. I can see the stars in my mind’s eye as I recall with my mind the
true stars in each clear night. As “the World-Soul turned toward the Mind and
toward God ... it found the ornament,
from the Soul, of all the forms which are seen in this world; thus out of chaos
was made a world” so too in “Starry Night” there is also a calm on the earth
while the chaos in the sky points back to the way love connects back to God
(Ficino 206).
