Mediterranean Landscape with a White House
1900-1905
Henri-Edmond Cross, a master of Neo-Impressionism, captures the sun-drenched south of France in this vibrant watercolor. Instead of his usual tiny dots of paint, he uses loose, fluid washes of blue, green, and ochre to depict a lush landscape with a solitary white house. The sketchy style gives the scene a breezy, almost dreamlike quality, as if he quickly jotted down the view before the Mediterranean light changed. It's a wonderful glimpse into how this color-obsessed artist saw the world around his home.
