Perhaps death is not the hardest thing in a painter’s life… looking at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots representing towns and villages on a map. Why, I ask myself, shouldn’t the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? Just as we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star…
— Vincent Van Gogh
always one of my favourite paintings, ever since I was really really small
