Vincent van Gogh is considered one of the world’s greatest painters, his work having had a huge and far-reaching influence on 20th-century art as well as remaining visually and emotionally powerful to this day. In a letter to his sister Wilhemina, Van Gogh wrote: ‘Often it seems to me night is even more richly coloured than day.’ In this night painting, the sky is Prussian blue, ultramarine and cobalt, with sparkling yellow gaslights and stars. The spot depicted is in Arles, close to the Yellow House he famously rented.
