Vincent van Gogh's Café Terrace at Night, created in 1888, is a vibrant example of Post-impressionism. The painting depicts a lively café scene illuminated by warm yellow lights, contrasting with the deep blue night sky filled with stars. Van Gogh often used Paper for his sketch and study process before applying thick, expressive ink-like brushstrokes in oil. This work captures his expressive style and fascination with light and atmosphere, offering an intimate glimpse into nocturnal life in Arles.
