Painted in 1908, 'Antibes, Afternoon' by Henri-Edmond Cross captures the shimmering light and atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast through the Neo-Impressionist technique of pointillism.
Henri-Edmond Cross, a French painter (1856-1910), was a significant figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. His work moved away from traditional Impressionism, embracing a more scientific approach to colour and light. Cross, along with artists like Seurat and Signac, sought to create luminous effects by applying small, distinct dots of pure colour that would blend optically in the viewer's eye. This technique, known as pointillism, aimed to achieve a greater luminosity than could be obtained by mixing colours on the palette. 'Antibes, Afternoon', painted in 1908, exemplifies Cross's mature style. The scene depicts the coastal town of Antibes, France, bathed in the warm light of the afternoon sun. The composition is divided into distinct zones, with the foreground featuring vibrant vegetation in shades of orange, yellow, and green. The middle ground shows the town itself, rendered in blues and purples, while the background reveals distant mountains under a sky of soft pinks and blues. The entire painting is constructed from small, individual dots of colour, creating a shimmering effect that captures the atmosphere of the Mediterranean coast.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

changing his name twice to escape confusion, moving to the Mediterranean for his health, and painting the coastline in colours so intense they helped start Fauvism
