About the piece

Painted in 1888 during his time in Arles, this seascape by Vincent van Gogh captures the Mediterranean at Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The work is defined by its energetic impasto and a vivid palette of blues and greens, reflecting the artist's fascination with the changing colors of the water.
