More about this artwork
This painting, titled "Paris: Le Place Dauphine" by Paul Signac, beautifully captures a scene from one of Paris's charming urban spots using a vibrant and expressive style. The artwork presents a view of a bustling riverside, depicting the Seine River flanked by ornate buildings and lush, tree-filled areas.In the foreground, the river is animated with reflections of light and colors, splashed with blue, white, and touches of yellow, suggesting the shimmering movement of water. A small boat can be seen drifting near one of the arch bridges that crosses the river, adding a sense of calm motion to the scene.Across the river, the architecture of Paris is rendered with dynamic, loosely defined strokes. Buildings appear in various shades of beige, orange, and hints of other colors, providing a sense of depth and complexity to the urban environment. The bridge itself is depicted with robust arches, under which shadows and light dance, adding a three-dimensional quality to the scene.The background features a mix of trees, their canopies depicted in a lively mix of greens, oranges, and reds, suggesting a season of transition, potentially autumn.

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.
