About the piece

Created in 1901 by Belgian artist Georges Buysse, 'The Red Sail' is a masterful study of light and reflection. The composition centers on the bold, earthy red of the sail, which provides a warm counterpoint to the cool, shimmering greys of the water and the hazy greens of the distant trees, capturing the quiet atmosphere of a summer day on a Belgian canal.
