Port Entrance at Volendam 1896

Theo van Rysselberghe's "Port Entrance at Volendam" (1896) is an oil on canvas painting depicting a Dutch harbor town, Volendam. The artist used a pointillist technique, applying small, distinct dots of color to create the image. This technique emphasizes the light of the setting sun, giving the scene a tranquil yet luminous ambiance. The painting captures the essence of the town's waterfront with the boats, pier, and winding path leading to benches. The artist's impressionistic style and vibrant color palette offer a unique visual experience.
