Don McLean wrote Vincent in 1971 after reading a book about the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh. In the 1970s, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam played the song daily and a copy of the sheet music, together with a set of Van Gogh's paint brushes, is buried in a time capsule beneath the museum.
Van Gogh painted many different subject matters, but is probably most famous for his "Sunflowers" series.
See link 1 for the "Starry Night" painting that inspired the first line and info on the song.

Uh, I heard it was about Vincent van Gogh actually. Thus "Starry starry night".

He was in love with Vincent Van Vox, a train guard who was fond of drawing portraits of sunflowers.
