Research and review the painting by Vincent van Gogh entitled, Café Terrace at Night. It is interesting to note that the spot he
painted in Arles, France still looks similar today. In a couple of sentences describe what is unique about this painting, what you feel when you see it, and how you think van Gogh felt about this place.
What's unique is the warmth that Van Gogh brings to the outdoor space of the patio. The rest of the building, above the awning, and into the street and sky the colors are primarily blue. This cool, and darker, atmosphere really makes the table and chairs stand out with a familiar warmth. It feels like Van Gogh liked this place and was comfortable there, that he might have seen it as somewhere welcoming, familar, and worth shining a metaphorical (and literal in the painting) light on as a space to go in the city.
