"The Maures, c. 1906-06" is a notable painting by the French artist Henri Edmond Cross, a leading figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. Born Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix in 1856, Cross adopted his pseudonym to distinguish himself from the famous Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix. Cross's work is characterized by his innovative use of color and light, and his contributions to the development of Pointillism, a technique pioneered by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.

"The Maures" captures the essence of Cross's mature style, which evolved from the strict Pointillism of his early career to a more fluid and expressive approach. The painting depicts a serene landscape, likely inspired by the Maures Mountains in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France. This area was a significant source of inspiration for Cross, who moved to the south of France in 1891, seeking a climate that would alleviate his chronic rheumatism. The Mediterranean light and landscape profoundly influenced his palette and technique.

In "The Maures," Cross employs a vibrant and harmonious color scheme, using short, broken brushstrokes to create a shimmering effect that captures the play of light on the natural scenery. The composition is marked by its rhythmic patterns and the juxtaposition of complementary colors, which enhance the sense of depth and luminosity. This approach reflects Cross's belief in the emotional and symbolic power of color, a principle that was central to the Neo-Impressionist philosophy.

Cross's work, including "The Maures," played a crucial role in the transition from 19th-century Impressionism to the various modernist movements of the early 20th century. His innovative techniques and dedication to exploring the interplay of color and light influenced a generation of artists, including Henri Matisse and the Fauves. Today, "The Maures" stands as a testament to Cross's artistic vision and his contribution to the evolution of modern art.
