Georges Seurat (1859–1891), known for pioneering the Neo-Impressionist technique of using small dots of pure colour, developed a luminous and atmospheric style that evolved notably through his repeated engagement with maritime themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The book brings together paintings, oil sketches and drawings produced during five summers spent on France’s northern coast between 1885 and 1890, in coastal towns such as Honfleur, Port-en-Bessin, and Gravelines. These works, featuring seascapes, regattas and harbour scenes, contrast with Seurat’s better-known Parisian imagery and reflect his desire to escape studio confines and depict the clarity of natural light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   The catalogue highlights how these coastal works deepened Seurat’s exploration of colour and form and played a vital role in expanding his influence. Featuring loans from global collections alongside The Courtauld’s holdings, the exhibition reaffirms Seurat’s lasting artistic significance despite his early death at age 31.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Exhibition Schedule:  The Courtauld Gallery, London (13 February–17 May 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tales on Market Street","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43491349594318,"sku":"9781913645908","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/top-hatandtales.co.uk\/products\/9781913645908","provider":"Top Hat \u0026 Tales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
