Study for 'The Channel at Gravelines, Evening' 1890

This study for "The Channel at Gravelines, Evening" was created by Georges Seurat in 1890, just a year before his untimely death. Known for his innovative pointillist style, this work is a prime example of his unique artistic vision. Seurat meticulously applied small dots of pure color, creating a shimmering effect that captures the subtle light and movement of water and the hazy atmosphere of a setting sun. This study, characteristic of his later works, is a testament to Seurat’s mastery of the pointillist technique and his ability to express the beauty of nature through color and light.
