Put this work on your wall
Pick a size, then order the art, its matching frame and the finishing gear. If this work has no ready-made print, download the free file and upload it to the linked custom printer.
Print and frame use the same outside size. Preview the image placement before buying.
A mat needs a smaller print and a custom opening. We'll recalculate both below. Check the frame's actual opening before cutting.
The light width follows your frame size.

How big can you print it?
Worked out from the free 44,567 × 35,291 px file. Standard frame sizes, turned to match the painting. "Crops" is how much of the picture you lose filling that frame edge to edge — or keep it all and let a mat take up the difference. Poster-sharp to 297.1 × 235.3 in at 150 dpi.

The story
Van Gogh painted this during his stay in Saint-Rémy, turning the night sky into motion. It has become familiar enough to end up on everything from posters to tote bags; the original still rewards a longer look.
The trick with Starry Night is scale and paper. Small and glossy, it looks like a dorm poster. Big and matte, with the blues allowed to go deep instead of purple, it looks like the thing that keeps a room company at 2am.
Buy the largest matte print you can hang and put it in something heavy. Black or raw wood. Nothing gold — the yellows in the sky are already doing that job.
What is the original worth? MoMA holds the 1889 painting in its collection, so there is no current retail price for it. Our free file and print links are for reproductions. See MoMA's object record →

Buying notes
- Matte paper usually cuts glare in a bright room. If you prefer a glossy finish, check it under the light where you plan to hang it.
- Compare sizes against your wall before ordering. The wall fitterhelps you see whether a larger frame works.
- Try a centre around 57 inches from the floor, then adjust for furniture and sight lines.
- A mat can give a smaller print breathing room; check the opening size before buying.
