The artwork titled “Saint-Tropez” was created by Jean Metzinger in 1906. This piece belongs to the Divisionism and Neo-Impressionism art movements and falls within the genre of landscape painting.
The artwork depicts a serene coastal scene at Saint-Tropez. It exemplifies the use of Divisionism, characterized by the meticulous application of individual brushstrokes of pure color, which blend optically when viewed from a distance. The scene is bathed in a soft, vibrant light, reflecting the artist’s mastery in capturing the nuances of natural light and atmosphere. The use of colorful, distinct dots creates a sense of vibration and movement, bringing the seascape and its surroundings to life. The composition features boats gently floating on the water, a vivid sky transitioning into various hues, and lush greenery in the foreground, all harmoniously woven into a depiction of tranquil coastal life.
