The Bridge at Courbevoie 1887

"The Bridge at Courbevoie" (1887), by Georges Seurat, is a prime example of Pointillism, a technique where tiny dots of color are applied to a canvas to create an image. The painting depicts a serene scene on the Seine river in France, characterized by the shimmering water and the hazy atmosphere, captured through Seurat's meticulous application of dots. This artwork is a testament to Seurat's innovative approach to color theory and his fascination with the scientific principles of optics. Located at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, the painting offers viewers a glimpse into the tranquil beauty of the French countryside, captured with remarkable precision and artistic vision.
