Fishing Boats on Saintes-Maries Beach scrapbook Square Sticker

These stylish and elegant Van Gogh Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries (1888) scrapbook stickers are enriched with the magnificent beach coastline with boats that the great Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh painted. These gorgeous vintage fine art paper stickers emanates grace and everlasting beauty. Van Gogh travelled by bus to the Mediterranean seaside town of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in June 1888 via the Camargue, which reminded him of Holland. The community was well renowned for its fishing fleet, peculiarly shaped thatched roofs, fortified church designed like a ship, and fortified cathedral. Each of these was captured by Van Gogh. However, the region's unique opportunities were the sea and the brightly coloured boats. Van Gogh frequently travelled to Scheveningen, a fishing community and vacation destination on the North Sea close to The Hague, between 1881 and 1883. Van Gogh recreated the style of Hague School painters like Henrik Mesdag and Anton Mauve when he painted the enormous fishing smacks that had washed up on the nearby beach. Their iconography as well as Van Gogh's own early forays into this genre are recalled in his excursion into marine painting in June 1888. He openly compares Les Saintes-Maries to Dutch seascape in a letter on this seaside excursion; the only difference is that Dutch seascape has more vibrant colours.
