Le Port de Saint-Tropez 1893

"Le Port de Saint-Tropez" (1893) by Maximilien Luce is a vibrant depiction of the harbor at Saint-Tropez, France. The painting is characterized by the artist's signature use of Pointillism, where small dots of color are applied to the canvas to create the illusion of form and light. The bright, sunny colors and bustling scene capture the lively atmosphere of the seaside town. Luce's focus on light and color demonstrates the influence of Impressionism, but his application of color through tiny dots is a defining characteristic of the Neo-Impressionist movement.
