Saint-Tropez 1895

Paul Signac's "Saint-Tropez" (1895) is a vibrant watercolor painting that captures the essence of the French Riviera. Signac, a leading figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, employed a technique known as pointillism, where small dots of color are placed side by side to create the illusion of depth and light. In "Saint-Tropez," the artist uses this technique to depict the bustling harbor of Saint-Tropez with its colorful sailboats and buildings bathed in sunlight. The painting showcases Signac's mastery of color and his ability to convey a sense of movement and atmosphere. The vibrant hues and bold brushstrokes create a dynamic composition that reflects the energy and beauty of the Mediterranean coastline.
