"The Lighthouse of Gatteville" is a painting by Paul Signac, a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. The artwork depicts a coastal scene with a lighthouse as the focal point, set against a background of dramatic clouds. The application of short, distinct brushstrokes, characteristic of Pointillism, creates a vibrant, almost shimmering effect. The use of contrasting colors like the bright white of the lighthouse against the dark blue of the sky enhances the visual impact of the painting. Signac's work, including this piece, is known for its emphasis on light and color, capturing the beauty of the natural world in a unique and captivating way.
