Port-en-Bessin 1888

Georges Seurat's "Port-en-Bessin" (1888) is a prime example of his Pointillist style, which employs small dots of color to create an optical mixture. The painting captures a scene of the harbor at Port-en-Bessin, a small fishing town in Normandy, France. Seurat meticulously depicts the townscape, including a bridge, houses, and a pier. This work showcases Seurat's dedication to depicting the light and atmosphere of the seaside town.
