The Regatta 1892

Theo van Rysselberghe's "The Regatta" (1892) is a vibrant example of Neo-Impressionism. The artist, known for his contributions to the movement, utilized a distinct pointillist technique, where small dots of color are applied to the canvas to create an optical mixture. The painting depicts a scene of sailboats racing on a bright blue sea. The use of vibrant colors and the distinct pointillist technique, creates a sense of movement and energy, reflecting the dynamism of the regatta.
