Henri-Edmond Cross was a master of Neo-Impressionism, transforming the analytical dot of Pointillism into more expressive, rectangular brushstrokes in his later career. Living and working on the French Riviera, he dedicated himself to capturing the brilliant light and vibrant hues of the Mediterranean. This work, with its bold blue tree and warm coastal palette, beautifully illustrates his unique interpretation of color theory and his profound connection to the landscape he so loved.
