“Regatta in Concarneau” is an artwork executed by Paul Signac in 1891, crafted using oil on canvas. This piece is a notable example of Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism. The dimensions of the artwork are 66.5 by 82 centimeters, and it is classified under the genre “marina.” Currently, it resides within a private collection.
The artwork captures a dynamic maritime scene featuring a fleet of sailboats with vibrant, red sails gracefully navigating through the waters. Employing the Pointillist technique, Signac meticulously arranges small dots of color to create a luminous and shimmering effect, illustrating the sunlight reflecting off the sea waves. The sky transitions from a gentle yellow near the horizon to a cooler blue as it stretches upward, encapsulating the serene yet lively atmosphere of a regatta. The intricate interplay of colors and the rhythmic arrangement of the sailboats exemplify the meticulous and innovative approach of the Neo-Impressionist movement.
