Café Terrace at Night is an oil painting by Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh, created in September 1888 in Arles, southern France. It depicts the Café de la Gare on the Place du Forum in Arles, with its awning lit by gas lamps and diners seated outside on a starry night. The painting was the first of Van Gogh's works to depict a night scene without black — he used deep blues and purples for the night sky and contrasted them with golden yellows for the café lights. It is at the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands.
