The port of Rotterdam 1908

"The Port of Rotterdam" by Maximilien Luce, painted in 1908, depicts a bustling harbor scene. The artist uses bold strokes and vivid colors to capture the movement and energy of the port. The painting features numerous ships, cranes, and industrial structures, all set against a backdrop of a cloudy sky. Luce was a member of the Neo-Impressionist movement, which emphasized the use of pure color and divisionism, a technique of applying small dots of color to create optical effects. The painting is a testament to the dynamism and industry of Rotterdam, a major port city in the Netherlands.
