The stage of "Café Terrace at Night" is a cafe terrace built on Forum Square in the center of Arles, Southern France.This café actually exists and was the place Van Gogh visited with his fellow painters at the time.
Under the “blue” night sky with twinkling stars, the cafe terrace illuminated by gas lamps shines “yellow”.This is Van Gogh's specialty of color contrast, and it is considered a masterpiece representing the Arles era, which depicts a night view without using black.
He had a dream, "I want to decorate the atelier in Arles with the Sunflowers I drew and welcome Gauguin, my sworn friend," and completed four "Sunflowers" in less than a week.After that, he produced this work in September, the month before Gauguin arrived.It is also believed that the approaching carriage in the center of the painting is expected to arrive.
Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890)
Born in 1853 in the southern Dutch village of Float Zundert as the son of a minister. He aspires to be a priest but is frustrated, and at the age of 27 he goes on to become a painter.He relied on the painter's younger brother Theo to move to Paris and eventually to Arles, southern France. He started living together with his best friend Gauguin, but went bankrupt in 2 months. Later, he suffered from mental illness and died himself at Auvers-sur-Oise, at the age of 37. Although he had a short life as a painter for 10 years, his work is loved by many.
