The artwork, titled “Saint Brac, Le Bechet,” was created by Paul Signac in 1885. Executed using oil on canvas, this piece belongs to both the Impressionism and Neo-Impressionism art movements. The painting, which is a landscape genre, measures 46.36 by 65.41 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a tranquil coastal scene with a serene body of water forming the central focus. A solitary sailboat gently floats upon the water, casting subtle reflections. In the background, a shoreline with quaint buildings and houses form a picturesque village, bathed in warm light. The foreground features rugged rocks and vibrant greenery, bringing texture and depth to the composition. The use of vibrant and juxtaposed colors, characteristic of Neo-Impressionism, emphasizes the play of light and movement, creating a harmonious and dynamic landscape.
