'Café Terrace at Night' Van Gogh replica
This painting marks a turning point—Van Gogh’s first attempt to capture the night sky in paint. Created in September 1888, Café Terrace at Night was the beginning of a small but iconic series of four night scenes, including Starry Night over the Rhône, The Starry Night, and Road with Cypress and Star.
Rather than using black to depict night, Van Gogh experimented with rich blues, greens, and vibrant yellows to show the sky lit by stars and café gaslight. He painted this scene on-site, right on the Place du Forum in Arles, embracing the challenge of painting outdoors in the evening. It was bold, new—and the start of something visionary.
This hand-painted oil-on-canvas replica is framed in a small, elegant black wooden frame that provides structure without distraction. The minimalist design keeps the focus entirely on the glowing scene, allowing the stars and lanterns to radiate warmth and movement. Discreet yet striking.
Café Terrace at Night is not just a beautiful painting—it’s where Van Gogh’s love affair with the night began.
