Painted in 1885 during a pivotal summer along the coast of Brittany, Saint Briac, the marker Le Cheval (Saint-Briac, meule de foin / Le Balise Le Cheval) marks Paul Signac’s transition from traditional Impressionism into Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism. Depicting the rocky shore and navigation landmark off Saint-Briac, Signac combines short, rhythmic brushstrokes with structured, optical color mixing. Influenced by his emerging friendship with Georges Seurat, Signac captures the vibrant interplay of bright turquoise waters, sun-baked coastal terrain, and the expansive, breeze-filled skies of Northern France.
