The painting demonstrates his application of the pointillist technique, where small, distinct dots of colour are placed side by side on the canvas. Rather than mixing pigments on a palette, Signac relied on the viewer's eye to blend these individual points of colour optically, creating a luminous effect that captures the Mediterranean light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition features a harbour scene, with the titular red buoy positioned in the foreground. The water serves as a mirror for the surrounding architecture and boats, rendered through a rhythmic arrangement of blue, violet, and orange dots. The buildings along the quay are depicted in warm, golden tones, contrasting with the cooler hues of the water. Signac's approach to colour theory was influenced by his study of scientific treatises on optics, which he adapted to achieve a sense of atmospheric clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the mid-1890s, Signac had moved away from the more rigid, scientific application of dots favoured by Georges Seurat. In this piece, the brushstrokes are larger and more varied in shape, allowing for a greater sense of movement and spontaneity. This shift allowed him to convey the warmth of the southern French sun and the gentle motion of the harbour water with increased freedom. The work remains a representative example of his mature style, where the focus is on the interaction of light and colour across the surface of the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/sunset-on-the-lagoon-venice-henri-edmond-cross\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunset on the Lagoon, Venice - Henri-Edmond Cross — Henri-Edmond Cross\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/sunset-at-ambleteuse-theo-van-rysselberghe\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunset at Ambleteuse - Théo van Rysselberghe — Théo van Rysselberghe\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paul Signac","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888697053519,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888728019279,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888728052047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888728084815,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58888728117583,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Red-Buoy-Saint-Tropez_Poster_CompositorV1_1790371854567.jpg?v=1790372886","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/the-red-buoy-saint-tropez-paul-signac-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
