The House with the Red Roof
1883
Long before Georges Seurat became famous for his meticulous, tiny dots of Pointillism, he was experimenting with bold, choppy brushstrokes in the French countryside. In this 1883 landscape, a little house with a bright red roof sits quietly among lush green fields and dense trees, rendered in a vibrant patchwork of color. It's a fascinating glimpse into the artist's early transition period, showing exactly how he played with light and texture before perfecting his signature scientific style.
