Prompt: In early 1888, Van Gogh traveled to the fishing village of Les Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. He lived in Arles and had never seen the Mediterranean Sea. He had to travel for hours by stagecoach to get there. But after the trip, he was welcomed by the Mediterranean. Van Gogh stayed for some time in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer. In just one week, he created nine drawings and three paintings in and around the village.
