Seascape at Saintes-MariesFine Art

Seascape at Saintes-Maries shows a stretch of sea with a low horizon and broad paint strokes. The water shifts from pale blue to deeper blue, with a strip of sand or shore near the front. Vincent van Gogh worked on this kind of coastal scene in his post impressionist period.

This fine art print keeps the paint strokes clearly readable on a matte surface, so the blue tones do not shine back at you.

On a dining room wall, the wide sea band gives you a long line to rest your eyes on while you eat. From the table you see the colour changes across the water, and the room feels quieter than the room next door.
