The Night Cafe 1888

Vincent van Gogh's "The Night Cafe" (1888) depicts the interior of a cafe in Arles, France, where he was living at the time. The painting is known for its vibrant colors, particularly the bold yellows, greens, and reds that create a sense of energy and tension. Van Gogh's distinctive brushstrokes, often thick and swirling, give the scene a sense of movement and contribute to the painting's emotional intensity. "The Night Cafe" is considered a key example of Post-Impressionism, a style that emerged as a reaction to Impressionism and embraced more expressive and symbolic approaches to painting.
