"The Choppy Sea" (French: "La Mer Houleuse") is a notable painting created between 1902 and 1903 by the French Neo-Impressionist artist Henri Edmond Cross. Cross, born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix, was a pivotal figure in the development of the Neo-Impressionist movement, which sought to advance the techniques of Impressionism through a more scientific approach to color and light. This movement, also known as Pointillism or Divisionism, was characterized by the use of small, distinct dots of color applied in patterns to form an image.

"The Choppy Sea" exemplifies Cross's mature style, where he employed a vibrant palette and meticulous brushwork to capture the dynamic essence of the natural world. The painting depicts a tumultuous seascape, with waves crashing and swirling under a sky that hints at both storm and sunlight. Cross's technique of juxtaposing small dots and strokes of pure color allows the viewer's eye to blend these hues optically, creating a luminous and shimmering effect that conveys the movement and energy of the sea.

This work reflects Cross's deep fascination with the Mediterranean landscape, which he frequently explored in his later years after moving to the south of France. The artist's keen observation of light and atmosphere, combined with his methodical application of color theory, results in a composition that is both scientifically precise and emotionally evocative.

"The Choppy Sea" is celebrated for its innovative approach to depicting natural phenomena and its contribution to the broader Neo-Impressionist movement. It stands as a testament to Cross's skill in harmonizing the scientific rigor of Pointillism with the expressive potential of color and form, making it a significant piece in the history of modern art.
