Visconti Van Gogh Fountain Pen - Café Terrace at Night
Treasure the iconic painting, the Café Terrace at Night revealed in Visconti's latest pen!
The painting depicts the terrace of the café on the Place du Forum in Arles, France, and is the first painting in which Van Gogh used starry backgrounds; he went on to paint star-filled skies in ‘Starry Night Over the Rhône’ and ‘The Starry Night a year later.
The Visconti ‘Café Terrace at night’ collection is made from natural resin, brought to life by blue, orange, yellow, and green hues to recreate Van Gogh’s technique, emotion, and mood portrayed in this remarkable painting. The meticulous selection of resins and their color mix is one of the major innovations introduced by Visconti and makes each and every Visconti Van Gogh pen unique.
Van Gogh's 'Café Terrace at Night
The Café Terrace at Night was painted by the Dutch artist in 1888. The painting is characterized by relaxed, almost dreamy strokes reflecting the serenity of the night sky in the French South. Once again the artist relies on colors to convey his feelings and in this case, he chooses the contrast between strokes of yellow, orange, blue, and green paint.
Although painted at night Van Gogh does not use black in the sky, instead, shades of blue are contrasted with Van Gogh’s unique star motifs. The Cafe is illuminated with sulfur pale yellow and citron green. Van Gogh painted the view looking south towards the lit terrace of the famous coffee house.
