Tapestries by Famous Artists
Vincent Van Gogh painted Café Terrace at Night, sometimes called Café Terrace on the Place Du Forum, after he moved to Arles, a province in the South of France, in 1888.
During his stay there, the artist's paintings seemed to resemble some of his old sketches.
He used the same techniques in his paintings as he did with his drawings: outlining, stippling and hatching, which was evident in this most famous painting.
The painting is also called Café Van Gogh.
Café Terrace at Night displays Van Gogh's excitement over the colors and lights that he saw in Arles.
He describes Café Terrace as a night picture without using even a hint of black, but only the beautiful hues of green, blue and violet as well as the lime green and sulfur yellow emanating from the street square.
Art critics consider the painting as a metaphor for something deeper.
The concept of Café Terrace shows stars twinkling in the distance which stands in contrast with the intense allure of the café.
Van Gogh was fascinated with depicting night life.
Over the course of his troubled life, Van Gogh painted several scenes depicting the night sky (one of which is his famous Starry Night painting) and the effects of light on the night.
His experiment with colors resulted in paintings with contrasting colors, tones and varying luminosity.
Dark colors compliment and contrast with light.
Oranges and blues, greens and yellows all work together to create in a symphonic harmony.
The painting, which is clearly a product of the famous Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism style, is originally an oil-painting.
Still, this beloved masterpiece by Van Gogh has often been reproduced as wall prints, wall décor and even tapestries, much to the delight of stylish homeowners wishing to incorporate a touch of elegance as well as whimsy into their homes.
Tapestries and wall prints are a less expensive than they used to be, however they are still an effective way to introduce a level of class and sophistication to your household.
It's also a great way to give a pop of color to an otherwise drab office.
Hang this onto your walls and let it magically transform the tone and mood of your house.
Prints of this painting are usually available in art galleries or online.
They also come in various sizes to fit the measurements of your own space.
Indeed, more than a hundred years after Van Gogh's death, Café Terrace at Night still remains one of the artist's most famous works.
