The Harbour at Marseilles 1906

"The Harbour at Marseilles" (1906) by Paul Signac is a prime example of Neo-Impressionism. It is a vibrant depiction of the bustling harbor of Marseilles, characterized by the artist's signature pointillist technique, utilizing small dots of color to create a shimmering effect, especially noticeable in the water and the sky. The painting evokes a sense of tranquility amidst the vibrant activity of the harbor, showcasing a light-filled palette with contrasting hues of pink, yellow, and green. This work is currently on display at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
