Location in the artwork: Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
At the end of May 1888, van Gogh left Arles for a week to visit the coastal town of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. He was fascinated by the colours of the Mediterranean and by the little green, red, blue boats, so pretty in shape and colour that one thought of flowers. He painted this canvas on his return to his studio in Arles based on studies he had made earlier on location.
