The Night Café by Vincent van Gogh
The Night Café by Vincent van Gogh
The Night Café (1888)
Vincent van Gogh | Post-Impressionism | Oil on canvas
Inside a café late at night, bright yellow lamps glow against red walls. A few sleepy customers slump at the tables, and a green billiard table stands in the middle of the room!
Did you know? Van Gogh sat up three nights in a row to paint this and went to bed during the day. He told his brother Theo he was trying to show "the terrible passions of humanity" with red and green.
