Rainbow 1892

"Rainbow" (1892) by Belgian artist Theo van Rysselberghe exemplifies the characteristics of Neo-Impressionism. Painted with a distinct pointillist technique, the artwork captures a serene coastal scene with a rainbow arching over the horizon, a detail that elevates the scene and highlights the artistic emphasis on light and color. The painting's vibrancy is achieved through the use of small, distinct brushstrokes that, when viewed from a distance, blend together to create a luminous effect. This work is currently housed in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, Netherlands, and is a testament to the artist's skillful application of the Pointillist method, further emphasizing the movement's impact on the development of modern art.
