View of the Sea at Scheveningen replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
Painted by Van Gogh
This painting was done in 1882 by Vincent van Gogh, and it was one of the first times he decided to venture and take his canvas outside to paint
nature. Though it was in
Arles, in 1888 when Van Gogh truly connected with nature and painted several
wheat fields,
cypresses and other
seascapes.
It is also easy to see nature’s influence on Van Gogh early on in life. When Vincent was living in
The Hague, he would make regular trips to the nearby fishing village, Scheveningen. Since he had started experimenting with oil paints as well, he decided to take his easel on the beach and worked directly on the canvas.
As a result, there are still some sand particles on the painting.
A strong and bold composition
Van Gogh has used thick and bold moves to delineate the sky, water, and sand. He has also used thick and very expressive pigment which completely compliments the lines. The view of the sky has been painted with rough brush strokes and a thick gob of colour.
The raging and angry sky in the background with the boat’s flag whipping gives a clear indication that a storm is underway.
Current Value of View of the Sea at Scheveningen
According to Adriaan Dönszelmann, the managing director of the
Van Gogh Museum, the estimated value of both works at the time of the crime was a whopping 4 million euros, or about 4.5 million dollars.
The current market price of the painting is a lot higher than the estimated value in 2002. We can be sure the Van Gogh Museum will never sell this painting though..
