"For several years, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam played the song daily. A copy of the sheet music is in a safe beneath the museum, along with a set of van Gogh's paint brushes, the that he used while painting Starry Night and various other items. It is rumored that Van Gogh's painting of the 'Starry Night' was painted during the time he was in an asylum and that he sold only one painting during his lifetime as he was not recognized. That's perhaps what caused him to fall into an abyss of depression which eventually led to his suicide." This slide show and content was sent to me from my good friend Leslie Aorian on Dec 24th 2009.
