About the piece

Created in 1891, this work by Georges Lemmen is a quintessential example of Neo-Impressionism. Through a meticulous pointillist technique, Lemmen captures the shimmering light of the Ostend promenade. The composition balances the vertical weight of a seaside building against the receding perspective of the dyke, resulting in a piece that is both tranquil and visually dynamic.
