Paul Signac’s "La Rochelle (1911)" is a luminous watercolor capturing the bustling port of La Rochelle with remarkable fluidity and vibrancy. The artist’s masterful use of light, color, and linework brings to life the dynamic energy of docked ships and their rippling reflections on the water. The warm, earthy tones of the sails contrast beautifully against the cool blues of the sea and sky, while the delicate application of watercolor washes enhances the scene’s airy, spontaneous feel. The interplay between defined structural elements—such as the masts and buildings—and the looser, expressive strokes of the water creates a harmonious balance that exemplifies Signac’s later experimentation beyond strict Pointillism. This piece is a testament to his ability to capture fleeting moments of maritime life with elegance and precision.

Display & Care
Display & Care
We want you to enjoy your fine art print for many years to come. Follow these simple tips to preserve its beauty and display it like a pro:
Caring for Your Print
- Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Hang your print in a well-lit room but away from direct sunlight to preserve its vibrant colors and prevent fading.
- Maintain a Dry Environment: Avoid placing your print in humid areas like bathrooms or kitchens to protect it from moisture.
- Dust Gently: Use a soft, dry cloth to lightly dust your print occasionally. Avoid cleaning sprays to prevent damage.
Framing Your Artwork
- Acid-Free Mats Are Key: Opt for acid-free mats when framing to prevent yellowing and keep your print in pristine condition.
- UV-Protective Glass: Use UV-protective glass to shield your artwork from sunlight and maintain its vibrancy.
- Floating Frames: For a modern touch, floating frames create space around your artwork, making it stand out beautifully.
Golden Ratio Borders
Every print includes carefully calculated borders based on the Golden Ratio. These borders enhance the artwork’s harmony and ensure it doesn’t come into direct contact with the frame, offering both aesthetic and practical benefits.
Hanging Tips
- Eye-Level Hanging: Hang your artwork so the center is at eye level—around 57 to 60 inches from the floor—for optimal viewing.
- Create a Gallery Wall: Display multiple prints as a gallery wall for a cohesive and stylish look. Keep even spacing between each piece.
- Lighting and Placement: Find a spot with gentle lighting that complements your artwork. Avoid excessive direct sun or heat to ensure longevity.
