*** About the Fishing Boats at Sea near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer: Created in June 1888 during Van Gogh’s stay in the village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer on the coast of the Mediterranean, this painting reflects his fascination with the marine landscape and the lives of the local fishermen. During this period, van Gogh's style was heavily influenced by the bright sunlight and intense colors of the region, which intensified his expressive use of color and form. These elements are vividly present in this artwork, which is characterized by its dramatic, almost tactile depiction of the sea’s movement and the bold use of color which conveys emotion and atmosphere more than the precise details of the scene. The inspiration for this work stemmed from Van Gogh’s desire to capture the elemental forces of nature and the human endeavor to navigate them. This painting is currently located at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire awe with its raw, energetic depiction of sea and sky.
