The artwork titled “Le Corne d’Or, Le Pont,” created by artist Paul Signac in 1907, is an oil painting on canvas. This piece, measuring 81 x 65.5 cm, belongs to the Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism art movements, and it is classified under the genre of marina. Currently housed in a private collection, this painting showcases Signac’s mastery in capturing the play of light and color.
In the artwork, a vibrant maritime scene is brought to life through the characteristic dot technique of Pointillism. The composition centers on a large, multicolored ship with intricate sails, docked along a serene waterway. Behind the vessel, an arched bridge spans the background, adding architectural interest to the scene. The reflection of the ship and surrounding structures is skillfully depicted in the shimmering water below, conveying a sense of calm and harmony. The palette is dominated by soft pastel hues of pink, blue, and green, contributing to the overall ethereal ambiance. The painting’s meticulous application of individual dots of color creates a dynamic interplay of light, enhancing both the clarity and vibrancy of the maritime subject.
