Early in 1888, Van Gogh travelled to the fishing village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. He lived in Arles, and had never seen the Mediterranean Sea. He had to travel for hours in a coach to get there. But after the trip, he was greeted by the Mediterranean. Van Gogh stayed a while in Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. In barely a week, he made nine drawings and three paintings in and around the village.

This animation of 'Seascape near Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer', (1888) is made by Andrey Zakirzyanov.
