Georges Seurat's "The Lighthouse at Honfleur" (1886) is a striking example of his Pointillist technique, where tiny dots of color are applied to the canvas to create a vibrant and textured effect. This artwork depicts the iconic lighthouse at Honfleur, France, with a distant view of a harbor and a boat resting on a sandy beach. The use of color and composition emphasizes the stillness and serenity of the coastal landscape, while the pointillist style adds a unique and almost abstract quality to the work.
