About the piece

Created in 1907, this masterful work by Paul Signac depicts the bustling port of Rotterdam through a shimmering veil of mosaic-like brushstrokes. The composition balances industrial energy—represented by the plumes of smoke and distant bridges—with a serene palette of lavender, soft blue, and rose tones typical of the artist's mature style.
