Before settling in Al, Van Gogh, who was in his mid-thirties and was still a "trainee painter", also painted another work related to coffee, "the Man who eats potatoes." This painting is regarded as one of Van Gogh's early masterpieces. The picture shows a family of five drinking coffee in a narrow and crowded room. Van Gogh, who painted this painting, has not yet been exposed to impressionist painting, using dark and oppressive colors, and at that time some people accused Van Gogh of not even mastering the basic skill of human body proportion. But the painting looks so strong and reassuring. The farmer in the picture has a simple face, strong bones, and a large plate of potatoes next to a small cup of coffee with a stucco color. In this painting, coffee, as the daily diet of the lower working people, does not have any grandiose or modern cold. Van Gogh has another painting, "the Cafe at Night-Indoor". In this painting, Van Gogh uses a lot of red, green and yellow-"I want to try my best to show that the cafe is a place where people destroy themselves, go crazy or commit crimes," Van Gogh explained. The cafe under the starry night is just an entrance to madness. Al van Gogh is famous all over the world, and one of Al's most famous attractions is the prototype of Van Gogh's masterpiece "the Cafe at Night", an old cafe that still retains bright yellow awnings and a large number of open-air cafes. Van Gogh used to be so attached to the different levels of blue in the southern sky that he ran to the streets again and again at night, depicting the contrast between Armin's yellow streets and starry blue.

People are no stranger to "the Cafe at Night". It is the most famous image in the cafe image and one of the most copied and quoted images in the world. Many cafes hang copies on the walls as decoration, and many books and picture books related to food culture have quoted this painting. But van Gogh only wanted to show the depth and vitality of the night, and the conflict between the bright yellow, which symbolizes life and the sun, and the cobalt blue, which symbolizes the mysterious unknown, which is the effect of light and clear colors, especially trees full of flowers. Oddly enough, February of that year was particularly cold, with snowflakes falling, and the snowflakes and white flakes on the branches cheered Van Gogh-and the flat fields similar to the Dutch scenery and the windbreaks on the banks of the Rhone. Most of those flowers are apricot blossoms, but there are also cherry, peach and plum blossoms. You know, I feel like I'm in Japan.'"

This is my favorite description of Van Gogh's first arrival in Al. In a quiet and beautiful atmosphere, it is impossible to predict that the small town of South France, which is full of Rosaceae plants in the depths of winter, will also grow sunflowers in the hot summer sun.
