Sejlskibe i Barfleurs havn 1928 - 1931

"Sejlskibe i Barfleurs havn" (Sailing Ships in the Harbor of Barfleur), a 1928-1931 work by Paul Signac, depicts a picturesque harbor scene. Signac, a key figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, captures the light and atmosphere of the French coast with his characteristic pointillist technique. The artwork showcases a harbor filled with boats, with buildings and a cross in the background, all rendered in a delicate balance of black and brown ink. This delicate and evocative work, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, offers viewers a glimpse into the artistic world of Signac and his fascination with the interplay of light and color in nature.
