Starry Night (Template:Lang-no) is an oil-on-canvas painting created by the Expressionist artist Edvard Munch in 1893. This night landscape represents the coastline at Åsgårdstrand, a small beach resort south of Oslo in Norway, where Edvard Munch had spent his summers since the late 1880s.[1] In this painting Munch shows the view from the hotel window, where he fell in love for the first time.[2]
