Seascape near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer II - Vincent Van Gogh
Seascape near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer II, painted by Vincent Van Gogh, is a celebration of nature in all its raw splendour. At the heart of the Post-Impressionist movement, this painting is a moving depiction of the sea, with its tumultuous waves crashing under a stormy sky.
The artist skilfully manipulates the colours, moving from the dark blue of the ocean to lighter, almost white tones, to capture the power and ceaseless movement of the waves. The cloud-laden sky suggests an approaching storm, adding a touch of drama to this maritime scene. The rich, contrasting palette and bold use of brushstrokes make this work a vibrant example of Van Gogh's talent for capturing the emotional essence of natural landscapes. This is the second painting in this series, the first, Seascape at Saintes-Maries was painted earlier in the same year, in 1888.
