Saint Briac, the marker Le Cheval 1885

Paul Signac's *Saint Briac, the marker Le Cheval* is a striking example of his neo-impressionist style. Painted in 1885, the canvas depicts a coastal scene in Brittany, France, where Signac frequently visited and painted. The artist's use of distinct brushstrokes and vibrant colors, reminiscent of pointillism, creates a shimmering effect that captures the light and movement of the water. The work is an excellent representation of the neo-impressionist movement, characterized by its emphasis on the scientific analysis of color and light.
