Artwork
With his “Café Terrace at Night,” painted in September 1888, Vincent van Gogh created one of his most celebrated nocturnal scenes. During his stay in Arles in the south of France, he captured the terrace of a small café on the Place du Forum. The warm glow of the gas lamps bathes the square in an almost Mediterranean ambiance and forms a striking contrast to the deep blue sky, where countless stars shimmer. Van Gogh virtually dispensed with the use of black, allowing the night to emerge solely through intense shades of blue, yellow, and green. The painting marks the beginning of his famous starry-sky series and already reveals the radiant palette that would come to define his later works. As a high-quality art print, “Café Terrace at Night” unfolds its unique atmosphere on canvas, as a poster, or framed, bringing the magic of a warm summer evening in Arles vividly into any living space.
