The Banks of the Marne at Dawn 1888

"The Banks of the Marne at Dawn" (1888) by Albert Dubois-Pillet, a French painter, captures a serene landscape using pointillism. The artwork features a river winding through a landscape, with trees on the banks, a soft light illuminating the sky, and clouds. The scene is rendered entirely by small dots of color, which blend together to create a soft, atmospheric effect. The use of pointillism, a technique popularized by the Impressionists, demonstrates Dubois-Pillet's interest in capturing light and its effect on the natural world.
