The artwork, titled “Saint-Tropez”, was created by the artist Francis Picabia in 1909. Rendered in oil on canvas, it belongs to the Divisionism art movement and is classified under the landscape genre. Currently, the artwork resides in a private collection.
Depicting a vibrant coastal village scene, the artwork uses the meticulous technique of Divisionism, characterized by the application of color in small, distinct dots and brushstrokes. In the foreground, two trees stand prominently with their foliage detailed in flecks of various greens and yellows, suggesting the interplay of sunlight. Beyond the trees, red-roofed buildings extend towards the rippling azure sea, which is situated against a backdrop of undulating hills under a serene, pale blue sky. The dotted application of colors blends to form a cohesive and tranquil landscape, encapsulating the idyllic essence of the Saint-Tropez locale.
