About the piece

Created in 1896 by Henri-Edmond Cross, this Neo-Impressionist painting is a masterclass in the use of light and color. Using a rhythmic pointillist technique, Cross depicts a serene sunset over the Mediterranean, with vibrant hues of violet, gold, and pink creating a luminous, atmospheric effect typical of his work in Saint-Clair.
