In February 1888, Van Gogh settles in Arles, France. He is delighted about the ‘clarity of the atmosphere and the cheerful colour effects’ he encounters in the South of France. A colourful palette is also what characterises this painting of a lit cafe terrace under a bright starry sky that has the carefree atmosphere of a sultry summer evening.
