seascape near les saintes maries de la mer ii vincent van goghSeascape 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.
