self-inflicted gunshot wound Vincent van Gogh was living in rented quarters in the south of
France. His time in Arles resulted in some of the most prolific output of his decidedly
productive career. This was not just a period of great quantity but also of great quality.
Among the paintings he finished in Arles was an interior scene of the café where he was staying
a painting that many consider to be one of his masterworks. Le Café de nuit or The Night Café
depicts the vividly colored interior of the Café de la Gare van Gogh’s home as he continued
work on The Yellow House where he hoped to found an artists’ colony. In the painting the
viewer is placed in a position of confrontation with the barkeep in an all night café lit by
the radiating glow of a series of hanging lamps. This figure that of the owner Joseph-Michel
Ginoux stands like an apparition behind the billiard table in the center of the room. He is
surrounded not only by drunken derelicts peppered throughout the surrounding space but also by
the thickly painted walls of the encroaching room.. Material: 5mm Linden Plywood. Artist:
