About the piece

Painted in 1905, this vibrant work by Paul Signac exemplifies the Neo-Impressionist technique of Pointillism. Using a mosaic of pure color dabs, Signac captures the luminous atmosphere of Venice at sunset, with the iconic campanile and dome of San Giorgio Maggiore rising above the blue waters of the lagoon. The foreground features elegantly curved gondolas, adding to the romantic and timeless allure of the scene.
