St. Tropez (The Port of St. Tropez)

About this work

This painting shows two small boats resting on a sandy shore near water. Behind them is a lumpy, greenish-brown tree with twisted branches and a thick trunk. In the distance, there’s a tall building with a dome and a bridge stretching across the water. The boats are drawn with simple, bold lines, and the sky is filled with wavy, swirling clouds. The colors are bright but a little flat, like a sketchbook drawing. Look up Impressionism next to see how this style plays with light and color.
