Saint-Briac. D'une fenêtre (1885) capta la tranquila belleza del paisaje bretón en un momento crucial de la evolución del artista del Impresionismo al Neoimpresionismo. Pintada durante una de sus frecuentes estancias en Saint-Briac-sur-Mer, un pueblo costero de Bretaña, esta obra refleja la temprana fascinación de Signac por los juegos de luz, color y atmósfera, antes de abrazar plenamente la técnica puntillista. La composición, enmarcada como si se viera desde una ventana, equilibra la geometría estructurada con la espontaneidad pictórica, sugiriendo la creciente preocupación del artista por el orden y la armonía en la naturaleza.





La obra perteneció en su día al compositor y director de orquesta francés Jules Rivière y ha sido comentada en importantes textos de historia del arte, como Connaissance des Arts (1956), L'Impressionisme et son époque (1980) de Sophie Monneret, y Signac: Catalogue raisonné de l'oeuvre peint (2000), de Françoise Cachin, donde figura con el nº 102. 102. Ejemplos comparables de la misma serie Saint-Briac se conservan en el Metropolitan Museum of Art, el Art Institute of Chicago y el Carnegie Museum of Art. En conjunto, estas obras revelan la transición de Signac hacia la luminosidad estructurada que pronto definiría el neoimpresionismo y aseguraría su lugar entre los principales innovadores de la pintura moderna.
