Fishing Boats on Beach at Saintes-Maries Van Gogh Black Ink Pen
The magnificent beach seashore with boats that the great Impressionist painter Vincent Van Gogh painted is embellished on the sophisticated and elegant Van Gogh Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Maries (1888) fine tip blue/black ink ballpoint pen. The Impressionists' graceful pen exudes grace and timeless beauty.
Van Gogh travelled by bus in June 1888 across the Camargue, which reminded him of Holland, to the Mediterranean beach town of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. The community was well-known for its fishing fleet, its peculiarly shaped thatched house roofs, its fortified cathedral constructed like a ship, and its fortified cathedral. All of these were captured by Van Gogh. However, the area's unique opportunities were the sea and the vibrant boats. Van Gogh frequently travelled to Scheveningen, a fishing community and vacation destination on the North Sea a short distance from The Hague, between the years 1881 and 1883.
In the style of Hague School painters like Henrik Mesdag and Anton Mauve, he depicted the large fishing smacks that had been pulled up on the beach there. Their images and his own early experiments in this genre are recalled in Van Gogh's June 1888 excursion into maritime painting. He specifically compares Les Saintes-Maries to Dutch seascape in a letter on this seaside excursion; the only difference is that Dutch seascape has more vibrant colours.

Nicely made product, the plastic feels substantial and the matte finish works nicely with my design. Overall I'm very pleased with the quality. I recommend it as an addition to a personalized matching stationery set. Even though it's listed as a no grip, the texture on the design gives it traction when you write with it; a pleasant surprise. The printing is lovely, a little darker than expected and less sharp, but I love the texture with the printing which adds to its substantial feel without being heavy.
