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\u003eThe book brings together paintings, oil sketches, and drawings produced during five summers spent on France's northern coast between 1885 and 1890, in 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\u003eThe catalogue highlights how these works deepened Seurat's exploration of colour and form and played a vital role in expanding his influence. Drawn from global collections, the works reaffirm Seurat's lasting artistic significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Courtauld Gallery, London\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(13 February-17 May 2026)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Karen Serres \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Curator of Paintings, The Courtauld Gallery, London. \u003cb\u003eProfessor Richard Thomson\u003c\/b\u003e is Research Professor in the History of Art, Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh. \u003cb\u003eProfessor Paul Smith \u003c\/b\u003eis Professorial Research Fellow in the History of Art, The University of Warwick\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Paul Holberton Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52176177135890,"sku":"9781913645908","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_60941c01-e091-466c-8c14-7d0ae6e7e1f2.jpg?v=1775559572","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/seurat-and-the-sea-9781913645908","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
