About the piece

Painted in 1888 during his stay in Arles, Vincent van Gogh captured the rhythmic lines and bold colors of fishing boats at Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. This work showcases his signature expressive brushwork and a masterful composition of land, sea, and sky, reflecting his fascination with the light and color of the French South.
