Description
Paul Signac, View of Saint-Tropez, Sunset in the Pine Forest, 1888, Musée de Saint-Tropez, Saint-Tropez
The port at sunset in Saint-Tropez is one of Paul Signac's most famous landscapes. In this painting, the purple mountain contrasts with the more orangey appearance of the sky and sea. The village, the central element of this composition, is enhanced. The painter emphasizes a play of delicate shades ranging from red to yellow, suggesting that a fire is burning fiercely behind these mountains.
A master of pointillism, the artist breaks down light into touches of vivid color, giving the canvas a luminous glow. When he moved to Saint-Tropez, Signac's painting became more luminous. The Mediterranean light influenced his color palette and renewed his style.
Like this painting, the bouquet blends shades of blue and purple with chrysanthemums and statice. The small touches of red and orange are embodied by the deep purple roses and the red astrantia. These elegant flowers give a vaporary appearance to the floral arrangement, reflecting the misty clouds in the painting. A bouquet whose play of gradations perfectly embodies the idea of ​​a sunset over bluish mountains.
Although absent, the sun, this primordial fire, remains the main element of both compositions.
