🌊 Seascape at Saintes-Maries – Vincent van Gogh (1888)

🌅 A vibrant sea, a breath of freedom

In this striking scene, Van Gogh captures the pure energy of the Mediterranean, painted during his stay in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The painting becomes a hymn to the moving sea, the southern light, and the strength of the wind in the sails.

🗺 A work born from a journey to the sea

In June 1888, Vincent leaves Arles to head to the sea. Deeply moved by the seascapes of southern France, he creates several paintings on the spot. Here, he presents the sea not as a mere decorative background, but as a living, tumultuous, and luminous character.

🎨 Visual analysis: a ballet of waves and sails

The dynamic brushstrokes, characteristic of Van Gogh's style, convey the movement of the waves, the play of reflections on the water, and the back-and-forth of the sailboats. The sky and the sea blend into a range of deep blues, emerald greens, and touches of white. The boats with taut sails embody struggle and grace against the elements.

🌬 A symbolic reading: the call of the open sea

This painting evokes freedom, escape, travel, but also the power of natural forces. The white sails carried by the wind become the symbol of the desire for elsewhere and the confrontation between man and infinity.
