About Saint Tropez, the storm

The artwork titled “Saint Tropez, the Storm,” created by artist Paul Signac in 1895, is an oil painting on canvas belonging to the Neo-Impressionism art movement and falls under the marina genre.

This artwork captures a stirring coastal scene at Saint Tropez. The animated water, rendered through meticulous pointillist technique, reflects myriad hues of blue and green. The turbulent sky ominously contrasts the calm of the moored sailboat on the left. Along the right, a row of pastel-colored buildings brightly stands against the stormy atmosphere, their pale tones emphasized by Signac’s distinctive use of light and color. The composition masterfully conjures a sense of impending tempest while maintaining a cohesive harmony through the nuanced interplay of shades and forms.
