About the piece

Painted in 1888, this vibrant seascape showcases Vincent van Gogh's masterful use of directional brushwork and expressive color to capture the vitality of the Mediterranean Sea. The composition focuses on the rolling movement of white-crested waves, with small fishing boats on the horizon rendered in his signature Post-Impressionist style.
