Vincent Van Gogh Painting Appraisal

Framed Art Print of 'Café Terrace at Night' by Vincent van Gogh

This item is a framed art print, likely a reproduction, of Vincent van Gogh's famous painting, "Café Terrace at Night" (also known as "Café Terrace on the Place du Forum"). The print is oriented vertically as a rectangular canvas, depicting the iconic night scene of a bustling café terrace under a deep blue, star-filled sky. The building housing the café is prominently featured on the left, illuminated by warm, glowing yellow and orange light spilling from its interior and awning, contrasting sharply with the cool blues of the night sky and distant buildings. The foreground shows an outdoor seating area with numerous tables and chairs, rendered in shades of orange and brown, with faint reflections on the wet-looking ground. Several stylized figures are visible, both seated at the tables and walking on the street. The brushwork, though a print, appears to mimic the impasto and expressive strokes of Van Gogh's Post-Impressionist style, particularly in the textured appearance of the sky and the glowing light. The print is housed within a substantial, ornate gilded frame with a traditional carved or molded pattern, reminiscent of a Florentine or Beaux-Arts style. There is a wide black mat surrounding the print, providing a visual separation between the artwork and the frame. The overall condition appears good with no immediately visible damage to the print itself or the frame, although direct examination would be needed to confirm any subtle wear or marks. Reflections on the glass cover suggest it is protected behind glazing. The specific manufacturer or printer is not discernible from the image, nor are any unique markings. Given its appearance as a print of a well-known work, it is likely a decorative art piece produced in the late 20th or early 21st century.
