View of the Sea at Scheveningen is one of only two seascapes Van Gogh painted during his time in the Netherlands. It famously survived being stolen from the Van Gogh Museum in 2002, only to be recovered in Italy 14 years later, making its journey a dramatic tale almost as turbulent as the storm it depicts. The painting offers a glimpse into Van Gogh's early artistic development, long before his more famous sun-drenched canvases.
