About Saint Tropez, after the storm

“Saint Tropez, after the storm” is an artwork created in 1895 by the eminent artist Paul Signac. Executed in oil on canvas, this piece is a prime example of the Neo-Impressionism movement and falls under the genre of marina.

The artwork presents a serene coastal scene immediately following a storm. The composition features several boats moored along the tranquil waters, their reflections softly shimmering beneath them, rendered in the meticulous pointillist technique characteristic of Neo-Impressionism. The sky, filled with leftover clouds from the storm, dominates the upper portion of the canvas. Soft hues of blue, accented by hints of other colors, create a harmonious and soothing atmosphere. In the distance, faint silhouettes of mountains provide depth to the scene, while a cluster of greenery and rooftops adds a touch of vividness to the otherwise calm and reflective setting. The systematic arrangement of dots of color constructs a delicate interplay of light and shade, encapsulating the tranquil aftermath of nature’s fury.
