One of Vincent Van Gogh's most iconic paintings, "A Sidewalk Café at Night" is full of life and is pure Provence. Stars twinkle in the midnight blue of the sky and warm golden light floods out of the terrace café.
This picture was painted during the final years of the artist's life, when he was dogged my ill health and mental instability. It was during this time too that he painted the much loved Sunflower series.
To understand the passion Vincent put into his work, you must see it up close. "A Sidewalk Café at Night" is a good place to start.
