How many paintings did Van Gogh make in Les-Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer?
Although Vincent van Gogh spent just 5 days in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer he made six oil paintings one watercolor and nine drawings.
Van Gogh left Arles by stagecoach to travel to the little town on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea to recover there from his health. Painting would help him to feel fit again.
"I’ve brought three canvases and I’ve covered them — two seascapes — a view of the village — and some drawings which I’ll send you by post when I get back to Arles tomorrow.”
A view of the village is:
