The Channel at Gravelines, Grand Fort-Philippe 1888

"The Channel at Gravelines, Grand Fort-Philippe" is a painting by French artist Georges Seurat, completed in 1888. It depicts a tranquil scene of a channel at Gravelines, a coastal town in northern France. Seurat's signature Pointillist technique, using tiny dots of color to create the image, is evident in the painting's soft, shimmering textures. This work is part of the National Gallery's collection in London, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into Seurat's unique style and his exploration of light and color in the landscape.
