The painting was painted by one of the

most popular painters in the world,


Vincent van Gogh. The painting was
entitled “café terrace at night” and it is
also known as “The Cafe Terrace on the
Place du Forum”. He painted it in mid-
September 1888. The type of painting
that he used is the oil painting. The
painting symbolizes the nighttime in
Arles. As we can see there’s a vertical
line and a horizontal line. Those lines
are used to build the buildings or the
settings. (turo mo na lang). In
properties of color, we can say that van
Gogh used the three. In hue, he used
the primary colors which are yellow,
blue, and red. Secondary colors, the
orange and, green. Tertiary colors, the
red-orange, and yellow-green. Value, in
yellow he added white to make it light
yellow and he added black in blue part
to make it darker. Intensity, as we can
see the building, it is from light to dark.
He used the analogous, the color beside
each other in the color wheel. The
yellow, green, orange, and blue, and
green. In the classification of shapes, it
has a geometric shape. When we
analyze the painting, we can say that it
has a rectangle, triangle, circle and a
square. In texture, I think it is smooth.
In methods of creating space,
overlapping planes/interposition, look
at the tree, it’s covering the building,
the people covering the window, or the
door. Relative height, look at the height
of the building, we can see that it is
getting smaller.
