About the piece
Created in 1899, this masterful work by Henri-Edmond Cross exemplifies the Neo-Impressionist technique of pointillism. Using individual dabs of vibrant color, Cross captures the physical effort of fishermen hauling nets against a backdrop of coastal architecture and a shimmering sea. The mosaic-like application of paint creates a sense of shimmering light and movement, making it a striking piece of late 19th-century French art.
