Vincent van Gogh Mug Night Cafe

Night Cafe by Vincent van Gogh

Another of van Gogh’s brilliant paintings has found its way to sport on these delicate porcelain mugs. “Café Terrace at Night” is the original title of the painting, but most people know it as the Night Cafe.

A real eye-catcher with vibrant colours. The mug comes with a presentable gift box. If you want to treat yourself or give it to someone as a present, it is a lovely mug with stunning artwork and is very elegant.
This stylish mug can be used for tea or coffee, or any other beverage of your choosing. Our Van Gogh collection also includes the Starry Night and Almond Blossom

What did Van Gogh say about Night Cafe?

In a letter to his sister, van Gogh wrote: “…But it’s the only way of getting away from the conventional black night with a poor, pallid and whitish light, while in fact a mere candle by itself gives us the richest yellows and oranges.”
And indeed. The colours used for his painting make the terrace and the house the focal point in yellow and orange. “This is a night painting without black, with nothing but beautiful blue and violet and green and in this surrounding the illuminated area colours itself sulfur pale yellow and citron green.”(“Vincent van Gogh Biography, Art, and Analysis of Works”. The Art Story.
