Fecamp, Sunshine 1886

"Fecamp, Sunshine" is an 1886 painting by Paul Signac, a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. The painting depicts a landscape of a seaside town, characterized by the artist's signature Pointillist technique. The brushstrokes are small, distinct dots of color, forming a mosaic of light and shadow. This piece, along with Signac's other works, played a pivotal role in popularizing the technique, which aimed at capturing the effects of light and color through scientific observation. The bright colors and shimmering effect of the painting evoke the warm, sunny atmosphere of the French coast.
