Rotterdam 1906

Paul Signac’s 1906 watercolor, "Rotterdam," captures the essence of the Dutch city's bustling harbor. This Neo-Impressionist work showcases the artist's signature pointillist technique, where small dabs of pure color are applied to the canvas to create a vibrant, shimmering effect. The scene depicts three boats on the water, with a cityscape visible in the distance. The use of bold colors and loose brushstrokes gives the composition a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Signac's style.
