Painting Reviews: Fishing Boats on the Beach at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

 

Oil On Canvas June 1888

Amsterdam (NL) Van Gogh Museum

By: Vincent Van Gogh (1853 - 1890) Dutch Painter, Post - Impressionism

Description

The observer should imagine to walk at Les Saintes Maries De La Mer, after a few hours after the sunrise in a morning of June, the sky is dense of clouds which will change color thanks to the rising of the sun, some boats of the sand and other who are preparing to leave the mainland to fish.

A more philosophical narration could mean a surf toward the infinite governed by the sea's laws and by the winds and sea currents where mother nature will decide the destiny of its creatures.
