He was a significant influence on Henri Matisse and other artists regarded as important to early modernism. Cross moved away from the more scientific approach of pointillism, developing a more individual style using broader, more visible brushstrokes. He favoured coastal scenes and landscapes of southern France. \n\nThis watercolour depicts a festive scene by the sea, likely in France. Several French flags are raised on tall poles, and bunting is strung between them. A crowd of people are gathered, some wearing hats and carrying parasols. The scene is rendered in a loose, sketch-like style, with thin lines and washes of colour. The palette is dominated by blues, creams, and browns, creating a light, airy atmosphere. The composition is open, with the flags reaching towards the sky and the sea visible in the background.\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\/study-for-bathers-at-asnieres-georges-seurat\" 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;\"\u003eStudy for 'Bathers at Asnières' - Georges Seurat — Georges Seurat\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/geneva-1919-paul-signac\" 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;\"\u003eGeneva, 1919 - Paul Signac — Paul Signac\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Henri-Edmond Cross","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873098047823,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873102766415,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57873102799183,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Fourth-of-July-by-the-Sea_Poster_CompositorV1_1780899615583.jpg?v=1780899634","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-fourth-of-july-by-the-sea-henri-edmond-cross","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
