Visconti Van Gogh Fountain Pen - Café Terrace at Night
Made from natural resin uniquely mixed to represent palettes of oil paint, this Visconti Van Gogh series is inspired by the artist's color and technique. Each pen represents a specific Van Gogh painting. The pen utilizes Visconti's eighteen-faceted design, with the many edges enhancing its vivid colors. A converter is included, and it also accepts standard international short cartridges.
One of Van Gogh's most treasured and iconic paintings is the Café Terrace at Night. The painting depicts the terrace of the café on the Place du Forum in Arles, France and is the first painting in which Van Gogh used starry backgrounds; he went on to paint star-filled skies in ‘Starry Night Over the Rhône’ and the ‘The Starry Night’ a year later. This pen is brought to life by blue, orange, yellow and green hues to recreate Van Gogh’s technique, emotion and mood portrayed in this remarkable painting.
Now available as a gift set with a matching bottle of ink and a special edition bookmark.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, expect some variation in the pattern from what you see here.

Customer Reviews
Just received my Visconti Caf� Terrace at Night. It joins my Starry Night.Both pens demonstrate excellent quality of workmanship, style, design and are very fine writers. I am delighted!
Beautiful
I love this pen! It is so beautiful with the colors and pattern of the resin. I knew every one of these pens looks a bit different due to the way they are made, and I was so pleased the one I received was absolute perfection. I also like several other features, such as the faceted barrel, the hinged spring loaded clip, and the magnetic closure. However, for some reason the magnetic closure does not always seat on the first try, like my other two pens with magnetic closures do (Pineider Avatar Demo & Monteverde Full Abalone). If this was the only pen I used, I'd get it closed properly on the first try every time, but I rotate through a few different pens daily. This pen writes very smoothly, mine has a Medium nib.
