About the Artwork
"Venice, La Salute. Vert" by Paul Signac was inspired by his visit to Venice in 1908. This breathtaking artwork captures the grandeur of Santa Maria della Salute, a prominent church along the Grand Canal, in a vibrant and atmospheric scene. Painted during a bright, clear day, Signac’s use of pointillism—juxtaposing dabs of green, blue, pink, and yellow—creates a shimmering reflection of the Venetian landmarks on the water’s surface.
Signac’s fascination with Venice began in 1903, but his first extended visit took place in 1904, followed by this later stay in 1908. Influenced by the city’s rich architecture and unique light, Signac painted multiple works during his stays. In "Venice, La Salute. Vert," he brilliantly contrasts the majestic dome of the church with the bustling activity of gondolas and the customs house, La Dogana. The interplay of light, color, and reflection in this scene evokes the timeless beauty and vibrancy of Venice, which enchanted both Signac and other contemporaries, such as Claude Monet.
Through his mosaic-like brushstrokes and use of color, Signac delivers a composition that immerses the viewer in the vibrant atmosphere of Venice, making this work an exceptional example of Neo-Impressionism and his masterful approach to pointillism.
