The artwork, titled “Lighthouse at Groix,” was created by Paul Signac in 1925. It is a representation of the Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism art movements, capturing a cityscape. This distinguished piece of art is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met) in New York City, NY, USA.
The artwork depicts a vibrant harbor scene with a lighthouse at its center, surrounded by an array of multicolored sailing boats. The scene is meticulously constructed with small dots and strokes of vibrant colors, a hallmark of the Pointillism technique pioneered by Signac. The sky is a burst of pastel hues, blending seamlessly into the tranquil waters below, which reflect the lively spectrum of the boats and the lighthouse. The composition exudes a sense of calm and harmony, while the meticulous application of color creates a dynamic visual rhythm.
