Cafe Terrace framed Van Gogh replica, hand-painted in oil on canvas

Did you know Van Gogh painted Cafe Terrace and Starry Night over the Rhône in the same month? It was in Arles in September 1888 and he wrote to his sister:

"I definitely want to paint a starry sky now. It often seems to me that the night is even more richly colored than the day, colored in the most intense violets, blues and greens.”

Van Gogh’s other two night skies Starry Night and Road with Cypress and Star were painted later, in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

This beautifully restored 100-year-old Italian frame contrasts with the blues and green while bringing out the shining stars and the gaslight of the terrace. The carved texture of the frame seems an extension of the cobblestones. Perfection that this painting deserves.
