The Starry Night was painted by Van Gogh during the day in the studio on the ground floor of the Saint-Paul-de Mausole asylum. The view has been identified as that of his bedroom window, facing east, 121516 a view of which Van Gogh painted variations. [citation needed] "Through the iron-barred window," he wrote to his brother, Theo, about May 23, 1889, "I can see a closed square of wheat (.) upon which, in the morning , I see the sun rise in all its splendor (.) ".L 2 Van Gogh depicted the view at different times of the day, including sunrise, moonrise, sunny days, cloudy days, windy and a day with rain. Although the hospital staff did not allow van Gogh to paint in his bedroom, he was able to sketch in ink or charcoal on paper there; eventually, he would base newer variations on earlier versions. The pictorial element that unites all these paintings is the diagonal line coming from the right that represents the low, rolling hills of the Alpilles mountains. In several versions, the cypress trees are visible beyond the back wall enclosing the wheat field. Van Gogh enlarged the view in six of these paintings, most notably F717 Wheat Field with Cypresses and The Starry Night, which bring the trees closer to the picture plane. [citation needed] One of the earliest paintings of the view was F611 Mountainous Landscape behind Saint-Rémy, now
