when was starry night painted

Vincent van Gogh painted "The Starry Night" in June 1889. The painting depicts the view from the east-facing window of his room at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, where he was receiving treatment for mental illness. The work captures the night sky just before sunrise and includes an imaginary village. Van Gogh created this iconic piece during his stay at the asylum, and it is considered one of his most famous works, now held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
