Le Corne d'Or, Le Pont 1907

"Le Corne d'Or, Le Pont" (1907) by Paul Signac is a vibrant example of Neo-Impressionism, a style characterized by small, distinct brushstrokes that create an optical effect. The artwork depicts a sailboat with its sails billowing in the wind, anchored in front of the Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey. Signac's use of color and pointillism creates a sense of movement and light, capturing the essence of the scene. The work was painted during a period when Signac was deeply influenced by the theories of color and light developed by Georges Seurat. The work is held in a private collection.
