Van Gogh ‘Café Terrace at Night’

Vincent Van Gogh was famously in love with the night. His nocturnal images amaze us with bold colors, intense strokes and magical aura that make them so dreamlike yet so real. Just as you would expect from a true Impressionist, this love was born spontaneously, at the corner of a small street called the Place du Forum that inspired the artist to create his first nocturnal painting, ‘Café Terrace at Night.’ The place still exists in the city of Arles, South France. Once a common coffee shop, it has grown into a hot hangout rebuilt in line with the glorified masterpiece – an unprecedented case of nature taking clues from art.  Well, who else but Van Gogh, right? If you are a fan of the mad genius, a reproduction of this painting will make a great addition to your home décor!

The colors of the dark

Imagine yourself standing at the very spot where Vincent propped up his easel over a hundred years ago. The converging lines of the composition invite you to stroll down the old paved street, surrounded by shaky lanterns and cozy chitchat of the idle crowd. Using contrasting colors, the artist created a vivid, breathing surface that seems to be pulsing with light. The warmth of yellow café walls clashes with the chilliness of the night sky full of huge swirling stars – a feature that will later become indicative of Van Gogh’s style. Green and violet accents echo each other in shop windows, cobblestones and promenading silhouettes. At the end of the alley, where the mute shadows of the houses hulk up indistinctly out of sight, there is a touch of sheer darkness, but this looming obscurity makes you feel even warmer and safer in the bright circle of friendly café glow. Hardly putting in any black, Van Gogh captured the very essence of the urban night – vibrant, unfathomable and tantalizing.
