About the piece
Painted in 1886, this masterpiece by Georges Seurat captures the entrance to the port of Honfleur using the revolutionary technique of pointillism. The composition masterfully balances the verticality of a ship's mast and a lighthouse against the rhythmic sails of boats drifting across the sun-dappled water, all enclosed within the artist's own painted border.
