Our Inspiration:Street in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer
Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)
Reed pen, quill, and brown ink over black chalk on wove paper (backed with wove paper); 9 9/16 x 12 1/2 in.; 1888
Bequest of Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, 1948 48.190.1
In the summer of 1888, Van Gogh, who was then living in Arles, made a trip to the small Mediterranean fishing village of Saintes-Maries de la Mer, where he made a painted view of this street with its thatched roofs and smoking chimneys. This drawing was one of 15 that were sent, in the month of July alone, to Van Gogh’s friend, the artist Émile Bernard, to keep Bernard up to date on the work he was doing. In these vibrant drawings, Van Gogh captured the essence of the paintings while creating the compositions anew in a different medium.
