View of Saintes-Maries (1888)

Vincent van Gogh traveled from Arles to the seaside village of Saint-Maries in early June 1888.

On 4 June 1888, he wrote to his brother Theo, “I am at last writing to you from Stes-Maries on the shore of the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean has the colors of mackerel, changeable I mean. You don’t always know if it is green or violet, you can’t even say it’s blue, because the next moment the changing light has taken on a tinge of pink or gray.”

“I brought three canvases and have covered them - two marines, a view of the village, and then some drawings which I will send you by post when I return to Arles tomorrow.”
