About the piece

Painted in 1896, Théo van Rysselberghe’s Neo-Impressionist masterpiece captures a flotilla of fishing boats off the coast of Arnemuiden. Using a meticulous pointillist technique, the artist builds a shimmering atmosphere where the vibrant red and purple of the sails contrast beautifully with the pale, dappled tones of the water and sky, creating a work that feels both dynamic and serene.
