Wonderful!!
By the way, Vincent considered his "The Starry Night" painting a failure. Yet today it's the most recognized and (probably) most valued astronomically themed painting on the planet.
Below's a lovely, short, YouTube clip featuring Vincent Van Gogh -- brought to the present era by Dr. Who:

P.S. Vincent is only known to have sold one of his paintings in his lifetime (it wasn't Starry Night).
