About the piece

Painted in 1888, this masterwork by Georges Seurat depicts the harbor of Port-en-Bessin in Normandy. Using his revolutionary Neo-Impressionist technique of pointillism, Seurat constructed the scene from thousands of tiny dots of pure color that blend in the viewer's eye to create a sense of vibrating light and atmospheric stillness. The piece includes the artist's own painted border, which serves to bridge the composition with its surroundings.
