Van Gogh
Inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Cafe Terrace at Night
His iconic painting Café Terrace at Night was the first night scene painting in a series of his 3 most famous The Starry Night and Starry Night over the Rhones. He painted the café terrace at night on location and during the night. You can visit Café Van Gogh in Arles France today, and stand exactly where he stood.
This painting featured striking colors like you can expect from Van Gogh and what I portrayed in this piece. Bright yellows and oranges against deep blues and green. You’ll notice in his painting that while the colors are contrasting he makes it pleasing on the eyes by creating gradients versus stark changes. It seems that Vincent Van Gogh had a knack for closely observing what he saw but still interpreted it in his own way. You can see this in the stars which according to astronomers, the positioning of the stars is accurate. Though he exaggerates them with brilliance in his own way.
In his own words. “It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance. And without my expatiating on this theme it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.”
Available in either 8x8 inch square print with 6 inch round art or 10x10 inch square print with 8 inch round.
