Les Andelys, Côte d’Aval 1886

"Les Andelys, Côte d’Aval" is a pointillist painting by Paul Signac, completed in 1886. This technique, which uses small dots of color to create an image, is characteristic of Neo-Impressionism. The painting depicts the town of Les Andelys, seen from across a body of water, with a prominent hill and church spire in the background. Signac's use of contrasting colors and light creates a vibrant and energetic depiction of this picturesque French town.
