Paul Signacs Saint-Briac. D'une fenêtre (1885) fängt die stille Schönheit der bretonischen Landschaft zu einem entscheidenden Zeitpunkt in der Entwicklung des Künstlers vom Impressionismus zum Neo-Impressionismus ein. Das Gemälde entstand während eines seiner häufigen Aufenthalte in Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, einem Küstenort in der Bretagne, und spiegelt Signacs frühe Faszination für das Spiel von Licht, Farbe und Atmosphäre wider, bevor er sich ganz der pointilistischen Technik zuwandte. Die Komposition, die wie von einem Fenster aus gesehen gerahmt ist, stellt ein Gleichgewicht zwischen strukturierter Geometrie und malerischer Spontaneität her und deutet auf das wachsende Interesse des Künstlers an Ordnung und Harmonie in der Natur hin.





Das Werk gehörte einst dem französischen Komponisten und Dirigenten Jules Rivière und wurde in wichtigen kunsthistorischen Texten besprochen, darunter Connaissance des Arts (1956), L'Impressionisme et son époque (1980) von Sophie Monneret und Signac von Françoise Cachin: Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint (2000), wo es als Eintrag Nr. 102 abgebildet ist. 102. Vergleichbare Exemplare aus der gleichen Saint-Briac-Serie befinden sich im Metropolitan Museum of Art, im Art Institute of Chicago und im Carnegie Museum of Art. Zusammengenommen zeigen diese Werke Signacs Übergang zu der strukturierten Leuchtkraft, die bald den Neoimpressionismus definieren und ihm seinen Platz unter den führenden Erneuerern der modernen Malerei sichern sollte.
