Café Terrace at Night by Vincent van Gogh

Café Terrace at Night
Vincent van Gogh
1888
Oil on canvas
Post-Impressionism
Kröller-Müller Museum

Vincent painted the 'Café Terrace at Night' earlier in the same month as 'Starry Night over the Rhône', which I made a post about last week. But did you know that in this painting, as opposed to 'Starry Night over the Rhône' which has some inaccuracies, he was careful to paint each star in its exact position in the sky? This attention to detail from Vincent has enabled art historians to determine that the scene was set at approximately 11:00 PM.
