This is the first painting in which Vincent Van Gogh used starry backgrounds. The painting depicts the terrace of the Place du Forum, a popular coffee house in Arles, France, mid-September 1888. Like in Starry Night, Van Gogh succeeds in making the stars in the dark sky pop out at the viewer in his Café Terrace at Night. He again contrasts bright yellows and oranges with darker colors to create depth.

Painting's original located in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
