View of the Seine at Herblay

The painting depicts a landscape with a focus on a calm river that stretches across the scene. It reflects a sky dotted with clouds and sunlight illuminating the surface of the water. Green vegetation can be seen on the left edge, leaning over the water. On the opposite bank of the river there are hints of bright architecture and further in the background are hills. The work is painted in an impressionistic style with visible brushstrokes that together create an overall sense of place and atmosphere. The shading and light on the water surface emphasise the movement and liveliness of the landscape.

Paul Victor Jules Signac (1863-1935) was a French neo-Impressionist painter who developed a pointillist style of painting with Georges Seurat. On his cruise around the coast of Europe, he painted the landscape and French port cities- Port of Saint Tropez or Port of Rotterdam. In 1884, he met Claude Monet. Another important painter he met was Vincent Van Gogh. They became friends and often made painting trips to Asnières-sur-Seine. Signac was married and lived in Saint Tropez, where he had his studio at the time of his greatest glory. His other hobby besides his work was sailing. He circled countless ports in France and the Netherlands, bringing with him a number of sketches and paintings that he finished in the studio, such as the View of the Seine. Paul Signac died on August 15th, 1935 in Paris and was cremated.
