Here is an animated loop of The Starry Night which enhances the experience
The stars, painted as yellow-white blobs, appear to undulate. The thin crescent Moon is almost a caricature, with its illuminated cusps almost meeting around back. It, too, appears to undulate against the dark blue sky. The painting feels as though its sky is a living, breathing entity.

This looks exactly like a little mushroom trip, a poorly measured microdose makes everything move like this for me.
Vincent van Gogh is still the greatest, IMO.
Man, this painting is so breathtaking.
