A classy similarly as huge success, Van Gogh’s Fishing Boats On The Coastline At Saintes Maries is simply one amongst a series of paintings the painter made in 1888 during a visit to a little seaside town on the Mediterranean. Positioned a brief distance from his home at Arles in Provence, the week-long trip was only 1 of a variety of attempts to reduce his aggravating illness. This collection of seascapes likewise as recreations of town life contrasted the anguish of his problem in addition as stood as an awful sign of hope at the tip of an enormous life.
A world aloof from the laden, mood-swings of his Arles landscapes, Van Gogh’s Fishing Boats On The Beach At Saintes Maries may be a seemingly sparse job densely prominent with overlapping layers of significance.
