1882
Oil on canvas
Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
This early painting reflects van Gogh's practice of painting outside in an effort to capture all the elements of nature.
While living in The Hague, van Gogh made regular trips to Scheveningen, a nearby fishing village. He had begun to experiment with oil paint, and he set up his easel on the bleak stretch of beach and worked directly on his canvas in the windblown sand. His strong and bold approach to the composition, using broad horizontal zones to delineate sand, water, and sky, was matched by his thick and expressive application of pigment. His compulsion to capture his observations on the spot reflects his awareness of contemporary Impressionism.
