Henri Edmond Cross, a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement, created "La Chaine des Maures" in 1906. This painting is a quintessential example of Cross's mature style, which is characterized by the use of vibrant colors and meticulous pointillist technique. The work depicts the Maures mountain range in the Var department of southeastern France, an area known for its rugged beauty and Mediterranean flora. Cross's depiction of this landscape is not merely a representation of the physical terrain but also an exploration of light, color, and atmosphere.

In "La Chaine des Maures," Cross employs a palette of luminous hues, including rich blues, purples, and greens, to capture the essence of the Mediterranean landscape. The painting is composed of small, distinct dots of color that blend optically to create a harmonious and shimmering effect. This technique, known as Divisionism or Pointillism, was pioneered by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, and Cross became one of its most dedicated practitioners. His approach in this work demonstrates a keen understanding of color theory and a desire to evoke the natural vibrancy of the scene.

The composition of "La Chaine des Maures" is carefully structured, with the undulating forms of the mountains leading the viewer's eye through the painting. The interplay of light and shadow, as well as the juxtaposition of complementary colors, creates a dynamic and immersive visual experience. Cross's attention to detail and his ability to convey the subtleties of natural light make this painting a significant contribution to the Neo-Impressionist canon.

"La Chaine des Maures" reflects Cross's deep connection to the landscape of southern France, where he spent much of his later life. The painting not only showcases his technical prowess but also his ability to capture the serene and timeless beauty of the natural world.
