Fishing Boats at Saintes-Maries by Vincent van Gogh corresponds to the 1888 painting Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries, catalogued as F 413 / JH 1460. Van Gogh developed the composition from studies made during his short Mediterranean visit, arranging colourful fishing vessels across the beach with sea and sky beyond. The historical oil-on-canvas work measures approximately 65 × 81.5 cm and belongs to the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Alpha Art Gallery offers reproductions as canvas prints, fine art prints, framed prints and 100% hand-painted oil paintings.
Important Catalogue Note
This is the same historical artwork already represented earlier in your catalogue as Fishing Boats At Sainte-Marie By Van Gogh. If FA-VG-44 uses the same image, it is a duplicate product rather than a separate Van Gogh painting.
F 413 should also be distinguished from F 415, Van Gogh’s separate seascape showing fishing boats out on the Mediterranean.
Van Gogh at Saintes-Maries
Van Gogh travelled from Arles to the Mediterranean fishing village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1888. He drew and painted fishing vessels, the sea and village architecture during the brief visit.
The boats left early, which made sustained painting from life difficult. Van Gogh therefore used carefully observed drawings when developing the beach composition.
What Does the Painting Show?
Several fishing boats are pulled onto the sand rather than floating offshore. Their curved hulls, masts, rigging and overlapping shapes form the dominant visual structure.
The horizontal format gives the group enough space to spread across the beach while preserving the marine setting beyond.
