This painting by Henri-Edmond Cross captures the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice using the Pointillist technique. Small dots of colour create a shimmering effect of light and atmosphere on the Venetian lagoon.
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, explored the theories of optical mixing, applying small, distinct dots of colour to the canvas that would then blend in the viewer's eye. This painting depicts the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. The scene is rendered in a mosaic-like pattern of small, individual brushstrokes. The colours are bright, with yellows and oranges dominating the sails of the boats, contrasting with the blues and purples of the water. The architectural details of San Giorgio Maggiore are visible in the background, rendered in a softer palette of whites, pinks, and reds. The overall effect is one of shimmering light and atmosphere, capturing the unique character of the Venetian lagoon. The reflections in the water are particularly well-handled, with each dab of colour contributing to the sense of movement and light.

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
