Pines Along the Shore

This charming Neoimpressionist oil on canvas painting, dated 1896, by Henri-Edmond Delacroix (Cross) is available on a range of Arty Stuff gifts and homeware, including phone and tablet cases, cushions and tote bags, posters, prints and canvases.

Henri-Edmond Cross was a practitioner of the Neoimpressionist style of painting, a short-lived avantgarde movement in the late nineteenth century which emphasized the use of separate touches of interwoven pigment to achieve greater vibrancy of colour in the observer’s eye.

In Pines Along the Shore, painted in the south of France overlooking the Mediterranean, Cross weaves and layers separate brushstrokes, building his paint surface in a tapestry-like fashion from cool tones on the pine grove floor to brilliant foliage at the water’s edge to softer hues in the sky and mountains beyond.
