Pines by the Sea by Henri — Fine Art

Pines by the Sea shows dark pine trees standing against a bright sky. Henri-Edmond Cross built the scene from separate colour patches, a method tied to neo impressionist practice. You can see the small strokes working together in the foliage and along the tree trunks.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The print sits on matte paper, so the painted patches read as flat colour without shine. A light frame lifts the trees off a dark wall, or a wood frame sits beside a wooden desk.

On the landing wall at shoulder height, the dark treetops catch the lamp glow while the pale ground stays quiet. You notice the separate strokes most when you pause on the stairs.
