Scholars writing about Van Gogh's Starry Night overlook his study of Buddhism, and it seems to have a samsara/nirvana theme which may have been internalized by him. Its popularity in SE Asia supports that intuition.

From his paintings alone, one can conclude the dude had manic episodes, so he experienced that "oceanic" feeling, where all borders are porous, and one is in communion with everything.
