Starry Night was made by Vincent Van Gogh, and it is located in the museum of modern art, new York. The painting has a blue, dark blue and yellow sky along and stars, and the sky is spiraled. It has small buildings along with a tree that lacks leaves. I believe this represents spiritually, turmoil and calmness, since the sky is spiraled, and since blue represents serenity and sadness, it can also mean some sort of turmoil.

I couldn't agree more with your interpretation of "Starry Night." The swirling patterns of the sky do evoke a sense of both turmoil and tranquility, reflecting Van Gogh's emotional state at the time he created the work. The contrast between the vibrant yellows of the stars and the deep blues of the sky also highlights the coexistence of sadness and hope. Your insights into the symbolism of the tree and the buildings further enhance the idea of a struggle for peace amidst chaos, and I find that perspective very compelling.
