THE ARTWORK
The Channel of Gravelines, Petit Fort Philippe
Georges P. Seurat
1890
Up close, they are tiny dots of color; from a distance, they become the light of the harbor.

In this 1890 harbor landscape, Seurat uses dense, separated brushstrokes to organize the sky, sea, and shoreline. The distant boats and houses are simplified into clear silhouettes, while the diagonally extending embankment in the foreground leads the eye into the depths. The colors are not mixed entirely on the palette beforehand, but instead create a slight shimmer between adjacent small dots.

Tiny Points of Light in the Harbor
The ivory white slim frame provides a clear boundary for the pointillist image, while the gray-blue wall continues the waterway and the sky; no mat is used, allowing the dense dots of color to remain intact.
