Vincent Van Gogh brought his new impressions of the south of France to the fore in the painting of a café in Arles, now called Café van Gogh. The style of the painting is typically Van Gogh with warm colors and perspective. After painting it, Van Gogh wrote enthusiastically in a letter to his sister Wil: "I'm working on a new painting of a cafe at night. On the terrace there are small persons of people drinking. A large yellow lantern illuminates the terrace, the street has purple hues. The facades of the houses and a blue sky with stars and with a green tree. It has become a night painting without black but with blue and purple and green and bright green tones and lemon yellow. I love to paint this right in place. Normally I first make a drawing or sketch but now wanted I paint it right away. "
