Van Gogh's "Café Terrace at Night" is a famous 1888 painting, made in Arles, depicting a gas-lit café on the Place du Forum, with a starry night sky, using intense colors (yellows, blues) and vibrant brushstrokes to capture the magic of nightlife without using black, also inspired by Maupassant's Bel-Ami and testifying to his artistic research of light and color, with a composition that evokes warmth, mystery and an almost-presence of a Last Supper.
