View of the Sea at Scheveningen
Vincent van Gogh (1882)
Under a storm-laden sky, Vincent van Gogh’s <strong>View of the Sea at Scheveningen</strong> pits tiny beach figures, a <strong>horse-and-cart</strong>, and a fishing boat with a <strong>red flag</strong> against the heaving <strong>North Sea</strong>. The quick, dense strokes and even grains of blown <strong>sand embedded in the paint</strong> make the weather itself the subject, fusing observation with immediacy <sup>[2]</sup><sup>[3]</sup>.
