Choose options
This detail from Vincent van Gogh's celebrated Café Terrace at Night (1888) zooms into the warm glow of the lamplight terrace on the Place du Forum, Arles — one of the first nocturnal outdoor scenes in the history of Western painting to be painted without black. The golden light spilling from the café canopy against the deep cobalt of the night sky creates a tension of warmth and mystery that remains as arresting today as when it was first painted. A fragment of one of the great masterpieces of Post-Impressionism.
