Venice
c. 1903
Henri-Edmond Cross, usually famous for his meticulous dot-by-dot Pointillist paintings, lets loose here with a vibrant watercolor sketch of Venice from around 1903. Instead of tiny dots, he uses sweeping washes of violet, pink, and azure to capture the shimmering lagoon and the iconic bell tower of San Giorgio Maggiore under a dramatic sky. Signed with his initials 'H.E.C' in the corner, this piece reveals a freer, more spontaneous side of the Neo-Impressionist master, prioritizing the fleeting atmosphere of the Italian city over strict technique.
