Early in 1888, Van Gogh travelled to the fishing village of Les SaintesMariesdelaMer. He lived in Arles, and had never seen the Mediterranean Sea. He had to travel for hours in a coach to get there. But after the trip, he was greeted by the Mediterranean. Van Gogh stayed a while in Les SaintesMariesdelaMer. In barely a week, he made nine drawings and three paintings in and around the village.
This animation of ‘Seascape near Les SaintesMariesdelaMer’, (1888) is made by Andrey Zakirzyanov. Thank you for using Vincent’s work to inspire your creativity
