Notre Dame 1910

"Notre Dame" (1910) by Paul Signac, a prominent figure in Neo-Impressionism, showcases the iconic Parisian landmark through the artist’s signature Pointillist technique. Composed of small, distinct dots of color, the painting evokes the shimmering, hazy atmosphere of the city, with the Notre Dame Cathedral rising majestically from the banks of the Seine. The use of vibrant colors and the impressionistic rendering of light and shadow create a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in the bustling cityscape. Now residing at The Art Institute of Chicago, this watercolor serves as a testament to Signac's mastery of Neo-Impressionism, capturing the essence of Paris in a captivating manner.
