About the piece

Painted in 1904, this work by Paul Signac is a masterful example of Divisionism. Using small, precise dots of pure color, Signac captures the atmospheric light of the Venetian lagoon. The central focus is a boat with a striking yellow sail adorned with orange patterns, reflecting the lively maritime tradition of the city against a soft, hazy architectural backdrop.
