Gauguin painted himself in the guise of Jean Valjean, the main character of
Victor Hugo’s novel Les Misérables, equating the vibrant and loving fictional
outcast with the misunderstood artists of his time. - art-Gauguin.com

Van Gogh had intended to make a nocturnal painting for some time. And not
one in the conventional manner, in shades of black and grey, but actually
with an abundance of colours. Equally unconventional is that he paints
this gas-lit terrace of a café in Arles - art-vanGogh.com
