Van Gogh's the Cafe Terrace painting was painted in Arles after having a long period perfecting his another artwork sun-drenched fields of Southern France. It is one of Van Gogh's most well-know artwork as well as a popular art reproduction. Van Gogh explained his remarkable art as "a evening image without having any black color in it and started to enhance his night palette to the final result of his famous Starry Night works of art. The vibrant silhouettes from the gentle cafe scene find a way to generate and also merge a whole world as the brief old city-street paths off into the blue night time.
