"The Starry Night" is an oil on canvas painting by Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. Painted in June 1889, it depicts the view from the east-facing window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village.

This post should display a header image, if the theme supports it.

Non-square images can provide some unique styling issues.

This post tests a horizontal header image.

To display a featured image in the header, just add its url to the post’s Front Matter:

---
image: assets/img/1280px-van_gogh_-_starry_night_-_google_art_project.jpg
---

you could even omit the relative url and just leave the file name, but it’s better to keep it for compatibility with jekyll-seo-tag.

You can also add the alt and caption tags:
