Georges-Pierre Seurat is best known for his large-scale scenes from modern life, but he was also an experienced landscape painter with a special talent for marines. This work was painted in the last summer of Seurat's short life in the seaport of Gravelines on the French Flemish Channel coast, near the Belgian border. The characteristic pointillist treatment of Seurat, for example, is evident in the mast where the colour is divided into blue, yellow and vermilion red spots. The absence of any human presence gives the composition an ethereal, haunting atmosphere.
Georges-Pierre Seurat (Paris, 2 December 1859 - 9 March 1891) was a French painter and draughtsman. The work of Georges Seurat belongs to Pointillism, a style of painting within Impressionism. Together with Paul Signac, he was the founder of 19th century neo-impressionism.
