More about this artwork

This vibrant and lively painting by Paul Signac, titled "Rouen," is a compelling representation of the cityscape of Rouen, a historic city in Normandy, France. At a glance, the artwork seems to be executed with quick, energetic strokes, giving it a dynamic and somewhat impressionistic feel. Signac, well-known for his pointillist techniques, seems to adopt a more freely brushed style here, possibly using watercolors based on the fluidity and translucence of the colors.The composition prominently features the River Seine, which flows through Rouen, adding liveliness to the scene with boats gently floating on its shimmering surface. This foreground element leads the viewer’s eyes towards the architectural skyline dominated by the flèche (spire) of Rouen Cathedral, a hallmark of the city and an often-painted subject by artists like Claude Monet. The cathedral rises majestically, its intricate Gothic details suggested through minimal yet effective lines and washes.Buildings in varying shades of blues, whites, and warmer tones line the riverbank and fill the mid-ground, reflecting the urban tapestry of Rouen.

Paul Signac (1863-1935) was a French Neo-Impressionist painter. Together with Georges Seurat, Signac developed the Pointillism style. He was a passionate sailor, bringing back watercolor sketches of ports and nature from his travels, then turning them into large studio canvases with mosaic-like squares of color. He abandoned the short brushstrokes and intuitive dabs of color of the impressionists for a more exact scientific approach to applying dots with the intention to combine and blend not on the canvas, but in the viewer's eye.
