The Golden Horn, Constantinople ☰ Signac ☲ Canvas

The Golden Horn, Constantinople (1907, La Corne d'Or, Constantinople) by Paul Signac depicts the Golden Horn, the inlet that historically separated Constantinople (present day Istanbul) and kept the peninsula strategically safe from invaders. The harbor is filled with boats, and skyline filled with ships masts, the domes of the New Mosque, the Beyazit Tower, and minarets. Signac's Neo-Impressionist work is often divided into two key periods: those during the lifetime of his friend, Georges Seurat, characterized by the dots and structure of pointillism; and the later pictures, more abstract, comprised of a mosaic of brushstrokes in various colors in order to convey a visual intensity and sense of motion.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
