I chose Vincent Van Gogh’s “The Night Café” for this assignment. This painting was done on an oil canvas in 1888. I found this image on page 196 in Color and Culture by John Gage (701.85). This piece is that of a café, a long rectangular room with tables and chairs lining the two outside walls. There is a wine table on the far wall next to the door leading into the rear of the café, along with a pool table centered in the room. There is clock hung above the rear door along with four lights hanging from the ceiling. Three tables are being occupied with another three covered in glasses and bottles from previous customers. There is a waiter walking down the right side of the café. This is an oil painting done on a canvas.
