Labour Day tribute to workers at sea
We’re a huge admirer of Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh (1853–1890). Today, Labour Day, we post this image of his “Seascape at Saintes-Maries (Fishing Boats at Sea)” as a tribute to all those who toil at sea – fishermen, seafarers, coastguardsmen and offshore and oil rig workers. The masterpiece is part of a series of oil paintings and drawings done by the artist in 1888 when he made a trip to the fishing village of Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer on the coast of the Mediterranean in southern France. ~Barista Uno
