More about this artwork

The painting depicts a placid seascape using a technique of small, distinct dots of color applied in patterns to form an image. The composition is sectioned into horizontal bands suggesting different layers of the landscape: the sky, sea, and shore. The sky is rendered in a gradient from light yellow at the horizon to bright blue at the top, suggesting a sunny day. The sea is depicted in varying shades of blue with hints of green and yellow, indicating light reflecting off the water. The shoreline is portrayed with darker tones of blue and green, interspersed with yellow, suggesting vegetation. The left boundary of the canvas is framed by a dark, bluish band, contrasting sharply with the rest of the brightly lit scene.

Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859–1891) was a French artist and painter. Seurat's paintings were known for vibrancy of color and the use of tiny brushstrokes of contrasting colors. His intense interest in line, color, color theory, and optical effects formed the basis of Divisionism, whereas the use of layering small brushstrokes and dots formed the basis of Pointillism. His iconic late 19th-century painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" (1884), paved the way for the initiation of Neo-impressionism.

Seurat was only 31 when he died, yet he left behind an influential body of work, comprising seven monumental paintings, hundreds of drawings and sketches, and around 40 smaller-scale paintings and sketches. Although his oeuvre is relatively small in quantity, it had a lasting impact. He was among the first artists to make a systematic and devoted use of color theory, and his technical innovations influenced many of his peers.
