Barfleur 1931

Paul Signac's 1931 painting "Barfleur" is a vibrant example of Neo-Impressionism, characterized by its distinct pointillist technique. The artwork depicts a harbor scene, showcasing a church building on the left and a variety of sailboats in the water. The artist's signature use of small, colored dots creates a shimmering effect, particularly in the depiction of water, light, and the sky. The overall composition emphasizes a sense of calm and tranquility, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the idyllic harbor setting.
