Café Terrace at Night - Vincent Van Gogh

This was the first painting in which Vincent Van Gogh depicted a starry sky, which is later seen in Starry Night on the Rhone, painted the same month, and Starry Night, a year later. In this work, the artist seeks to capture the nocturnal atmosphere of a small square in a Provençal town, Arles. He wants to show a night with vivid colors and perhaps, he says, sometimes mistaking the exact tone.
