*** About the Interior of the Café de la Gare, 1888: Vincent van Gogh painted this captivating scene during his stay in Arles, France, in 1888, a period of prodigious output and profound artistic evolution. Embracing the luminous hues and bold techniques of Impressionism, Van Gogh applied paint directly from the tube to canvas, creating thick, impasto layers that lend a tactile quality to the work. This painting encapsulates his enduring interest in conveying the atmosphere of a locale more than its mere physical appearance. The interior, with its inviting arrangement and delicate balance of flora, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life and environment that inspired much of Van Gogh’s work during this time. The artwork is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands, which boasts one of the largest Van Gogh collections in the world.
