Henri Edmond Cross (1856–1910) was a French painter and a leading figure of Neo-Impressionism. Known for his vibrant landscapes, he used the technique of pointillism, applying small, separated dots of color to create luminous effects. Cross’s later work, with broader, more expressive strokes, influenced the Fauvist movement. His paintings often depict the Mediterranean coast, celebrating light and color. Cross’s legacy endures as a bridge between Impressionism and early modernist movements.
