Café Terrace at Night was painted in 1888 overlooking the popular Café Terrace at The Place du Forum, in Arles, a small village in the South of France.
The painting has several other names – “The Café Terrace on the Place du Forum” and "Terrasse du café le soir". It is also known as "Terrasse de café au place du Forum" in French and "Café Terras" in Dutch.
The reason why this oil painting is also referred to as “on the Place du Forum” is because this is the area where The Café Terrace was located.
During its first official display in 1891, this painting was named “Coffee House, in the Evening” or Café, le soir. The current title came to replace it much later.
