'Café Terrace at Night' Van Gogh replica
Van Gogh typically found peace in the countryside, where he painted sunflowers, wheat fields, and olive trees. Yet in Arles, on the evening of September 16, 1888, he set up his easel right on the street—surrounded by people, cafés, and the glow of gaslight—to capture something extraordinary: the magic of a night in town.
Café Terrace at Night was one of the first paintings in which Van Gogh depicted a starry sky. He described it in a letter to his sister as a night scene with “no black in it,” filled instead with deep blues, greens, and vibrant yellows. He painted quickly, directly on the spot, letting the atmosphere soak into his brushstrokes. The result is a timeless celebration of light, community, and contrast.
This hand-painted replica is framed in a minimalist black wooden frame with a subtle natural wood lining. The simplicity of the frame echoes the structure of the terrace and allows the warmth of the gaslight and glow of the stars to take center stage. The touch of natural wood softens the contrast, adding warmth and elegance—just like Van Gogh might have intended.
This is not just a night scene. It’s a moment of connection, a painting that bridges Van Gogh’s solitude with the bustle of human life.
