In 1886 in Paris, Théo van Rysselberghe saw Georges Seurat’s monumental painting Sunday Afternoon on the Ile de la Grande Jatte (now in the Art Institute of Chicago). He immediately realised the importance of Seurat’s new and startling technique, known as pointillism – myriad tiny dots of paint in complementary colours – and began to experiment with it himself.
The colours of Coastal Scene, and the absence of trees or buildings, make it appear a cold, northern seascape, but it’s thought to have been painted when van Rysselberghe was on the shores of the Mediterranean.
