“Dutch Mill at Edam” is a landscape painting by Paul Signac, created circa 1898 using oil on canvas. The artwork measures 73 x 92 cm and belongs to the Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism movements. Currently, it is held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a quintessential Dutch landscape featuring a towering windmill at Edam, surrounded by a tranquil body of water and traditional architecture. Signac employs meticulous pointillist technique, with individual dots of color combining to form a luminous, vibrant scene. The windmill’s structure is detailed and dominates the composition, reflecting in the water below. The sky, rendered in soft, harmonious hues, suggests a serene atmosphere, while the scattered buildings and sailing vessels contribute to the pastoral charm. The use of light and shadow enhances the textures and brings depth to the serene, idyllic setting.
