About Antibes, thunderstorms

The artwork, titled “Antibes, thunderstorms,” created by Paul Signac in 1919, is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 46 x 55 cm. It belongs to the Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism art movements and is categorized as a landscape genre. This piece is housed in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria.

The artwork vividly captures the seascape of Antibes amidst a storm. Signac employs the technique of Pointillism, where small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. The scene features a dramatic sky filled with varying shades of blue, interspersed with patches of white clouds indicative of the brewing storm. The distant hills and the clustered buildings of Antibes create a balanced composition, reflecting beautifully in the calm yet charged waters. The careful interplay of color and light demonstrates Signac’s mastery in conveying atmosphere and emotion through his distinctive style.
