La Rochelle 1920

"La Rochelle" is a 1920 watercolor by Paul Signac, a prominent French artist known for his contributions to Neo-Impressionism. The artwork captures a serene seascape, showcasing a harbor teeming with sailboats against a backdrop of a calm, hazy sky. The use of light and color, typical of Signac's style, emphasizes the reflective qualities of water and the gentle movement of the boats. This delicate yet vibrant depiction exemplifies Signac's mastery of capturing the beauty of nature through pointillism, a technique characterized by small, distinct dots of color.
