The Pink Cloud

After moving to the Mediterranean village of Saint-Clair in 1891 for his health, Henri-Edmond Cross wrote to his mother: “I have enough here to keep me busy all of life. I have just discovered happiness.” There he adopted the Neo-Impressionist technique of laying paint in small dots or dashes of complementary colours that mix in the viewer’s eye. Here a spectacular cloud glows in the sunset, joined to the garden below by a pair of cypress trees. Painted around 1896.
