Seascape at Port-en-Bessin,Normandy
1888
Georges Seurat took his obsession with tiny dots to the Normandy coast in 1888, creating this shimmering view of Port-en-Bessin. Instead of mixing colors on a palette, he placed thousands of individual dots of pure color side-by-side, letting your eyes do the blending—a technique called Pointillism. This scientific approach to painting was a radical departure from the spontaneous brushstrokes of the Impressionists, turning a simple seascape into a vibrating, luminous mosaic. It's like looking at a high-resolution image before pixels were even invented!
