By this stage in his career, Signac had moved away from the strict, tiny dots of his earlier work, favouring larger, rectangular brushstrokes that resemble a mosaic. This technique allows the viewer to perceive the optical mixing of colours as they step back from the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition captures the coastal town under a heavy, atmospheric sky. The mountains in the distance are rendered in cool blues and purples, suggesting the impending weather. Below, the architecture of Antibes is simplified into blocks of light, contrasting with the darker, saturated tones of the foliage. The water in the foreground acts as a mirror, reflecting the sky and the town through a rhythmic arrangement of blue, green, and white strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignac spent much of his life travelling along the French coast, documenting the changing light and weather conditions of the Mediterranean. His approach to colour theory, influenced by the scientific writings of Michel Eugène Chevreul, remains evident here. He does not blend pigments on the palette, but places them side by side on the canvas. This method creates a sense of luminosity that mimics the intensity of natural light. The work provides a clear example of his later style, where the focus shifts towards a more expressive, structural application of paint while maintaining the core principles of his divisionist training.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/landscape-at-saint-ouen-georges-seurat-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape at Saint-Ouen - Georges Seurat — Georges Seurat\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/interior-with-a-woman-seated-at-a-table-with-a-tea-service-georges-lemmen\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eInterior with a Woman Seated at a Table with a Tea Service - Georges Lemmen — Georges Lemmen\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paul Signac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58574349992271,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58574374863183,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58574374895951,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58574374928719,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58574374961487,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58574374994255,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58574375027023,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58574375059791,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58574375092559,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58574375125327,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58574375158095,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58574375190863,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Antibes-Thunderstorms_Poster_CompositorV1_1787805530095.jpg?v=1787806519","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/antibes-thunderstorms-paul-signac","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
