In "Les Saintes Maries de la Mer", Van Gogh shows his interest in capturing the true movement of the sea. He uses short, energetic brushstrokes that mimic the motion of the waves and reflect the light of the Mediterranean.
The painting stands out for its color intensity and for the way Van Gogh transforms an everyday scene into a unique visual experience. The small boats in the background add balance and perspective, while the waves in the foreground bring dynamism and realism. It’s a clear example of technical mastery and creativity.
Van Gogh painted this vibrant seascape, outdoors, in 1888. He tried to capture the color of the sea. He described it as "ever-changing in color". The painting is currently on display at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.

| Style: | Post-Impressionism. |
Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890) was a Dutch painter whose work marked a turning point in the history of modern art. His life, as passionate as it was tragic, reflects the constant struggle between creative genius and emotional fragility. Self-taught and deeply sensitive, Van Gogh explored painting as a language of the soul, using color and texture as a vehicle for inner expression. In just a decade of artistic production, he created more than 900 paintings and 1,100 drawings, leaving a legacy that forever transformed the perception of art. His nervous brushstroke, vibrant palette, and unique conception of light anticipated Expressionism and redefined the way we see the world.
