Fishing Boats on Saintes-Maries Beach - Van Gogh Poster
This art print poster features the gorgeous beach coastline with boats that the great Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh painted in his well-known seascape painting Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries (1888).
In June 1888, Van Gogh took a bus through the Camargue, which reminded him of Holland, to reach Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, a town on the Mediterranean coast. The area was well known for its fishing fleet, oddly shaped thatched roofs, fortified cathedral, and fortified churches with ship-inspired architecture. Van Gogh captured each of these. The sea and the colourful boats, though, were the area's distinctive features. Between 1881 and 1883, Van Gogh frequently visited Scheveningen, a fishing village and holiday spot on the North Sea adjacent to The Hague.
As he painted the big fishing smacks that had washed up on the surrounding shore, Van Gogh imitated the Hague School painters Henrik Mesdag and Anton Mauve. His debut in maritime painting in June 1888 recalls both their iconography and Van Gogh's own early excursions into this subject. In a letter on this seashore outing, he compares Les Saintes-Maries to Dutch seascapes, noting that the main distinction is that Dutch seascapes have more vivid hues.
To elevate your mood and enhance any area in your house, studio, or place of business, hang this poster of Vincent Van Gogh's serene "Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries" (1888) seascape painting on the walls of the dining room, the bedroom, or even the hallway.

Poster is printed clearly, good quality . Inclusive of many prints .
The shipping was the problem. Box was flimsy and item got bent.. only suggestion would have been to put in a canister or mark fragile. Printing was exactly as shown

I am a fan of Ravens and needed to have a poster of my favourite bird. The image quality is sharp.
