It was painted at a spot on the bank of the Rhône that was only a one or two - minute walk from the Yellow House on the Place Lamartine which Van Gogh was renting at the time . The night sky and the effects of light at night provided the subject for some of his more famous paintings, including Cafe Terrace at Night (painted earlier the same month) and the later canvas from Saint - Rémy, The Starry Night . </P>
