I was looking at this oil painting Starry Night by Van Gogh: http://www.overstockart.com/starrynight.html and I was wondering if anyone knows when was this oil painting done by Vincent Van Gogh?

Already in autumn 1888, while Van Gogh was staying in Arles, he executed a painting commonly known as Starry Night over the Rhone. Later he was in the mental asylum in a monastry Saint-Rémy (May 1889 - May 1890), Since 1941 it has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
This composition compiles various parts and pieces to be seen from the neighborhood of the asylum in Saint-Rémy. The center part shows the village of Saint-Rémy, in a view from the asylum towards North. The Alpilles far to the right fit to this view, but there is little rapport of the actual scene with the intermediary hills which seem to be derived from a different part of the surroundings, south of the asylum. And to add a tree into a composition - here the top of a cypres, on the left - really should not have been a problem for Van Gogh, who already in Arles, in his Starry Night over the Rhone, had pushed Ursa Major from the North to the South.
And if you have heard the british singer Don Maclean - The painting was the inspiration for Don McLean's song, Vincent, which is also known by its opening words, Starry, Starry Night and has been a favourite of mine ever since I heard it a long time ago when I was in College!
