About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Georges Seurat, this work is a vibrant study for his celebrated coastal landscape of Grandcamp. Using a precursor to his famous pointillist technique, Seurat captures the massive silhouette of the Bec du Hoc cliff against a luminous sea with rhythmic, color-saturated brushstrokes that explore the science of light and optics.
