"Antibes, Afternoon" is a notable painting by the French artist Henri Edmond Cross, created in 1903. Cross, born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix in 1856, was a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, which sought to advance the techniques of Impressionism through a more scientific approach to color and light. This painting exemplifies Cross's mature style, characterized by the use of vibrant, contrasting colors applied in small, distinct brushstrokes, a technique known as Pointillism or Divisionism.

The painting depicts a serene afternoon in Antibes, a picturesque town on the French Riviera, known for its stunning coastal views and Mediterranean charm. Cross's choice of Antibes as a subject reflects his deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the region, which had also inspired other artists such as Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso. In "Antibes, Afternoon," Cross captures the tranquil atmosphere of the seaside with a harmonious blend of blues, greens, and purples, evoking the shimmering light and gentle breezes of the Mediterranean coast.

Cross's meticulous technique in "Antibes, Afternoon" involves the application of pure, unmixed colors in small dots or strokes, which the viewer's eye blends at a distance, creating a luminous and vibrant effect. This method not only enhances the visual impact of the painting but also reflects the artist's interest in the scientific theories of color perception developed by contemporaries like Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.

"Antibes, Afternoon" is celebrated for its exquisite composition and masterful use of color, which together create a sense of peacefulness and timeless beauty. The painting is a testament to Cross's skill as a colorist and his ability to convey the essence of a place through his innovative approach to painting. Today, "Antibes, Afternoon" is regarded as one of Cross's masterpieces and a significant work within the Neo-Impressionist canon, continuing to captivate audiences with its radiant depiction of the Mediterranean landscape.
