About the piece

Created in 1907, this work by Paul Signac captures the bustling Old Port of Marseille with a sense of light and movement. Using fluid, painterly strokes and a palette of pastel pinks, deep blues, and warm ochres, Signac depicts masts rising against a rhythmic sky with the iconic Notre-Dame de la Garde overlooking the Mediterranean coast.
