"The Mediterranean, East Wind" is a notable painting by the French artist Henri Edmond Cross, a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. Created in 1895-1896, this work exemplifies Cross's mature style, characterized by the use of vibrant colors and the technique of pointillism, which involves applying small, distinct dots of color to form an image. Cross, whose real name was Henri-Edmond-Joseph Delacroix, adopted his pseudonym to distinguish himself from the famous Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix.

The painting captures a serene Mediterranean seascape, infused with the light and atmosphere of the French Riviera, where Cross spent much of his later life. The composition is dominated by the interplay of light and color, with the east wind subtly suggested through the movement of the waves and the bending of the coastal vegetation. Cross's meticulous application of color dots creates a shimmering effect, evoking the natural luminosity of the Mediterranean environment.

Cross was deeply influenced by the scientific theories of color and perception advocated by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, the pioneers of Neo-Impressionism. In "The Mediterranean, East Wind," he employs these principles to explore the optical effects of light and color, aiming to achieve a harmonious and vibrant visual experience. The painting reflects Cross's interest in capturing the ephemeral qualities of nature, as well as his commitment to the Neo-Impressionist goal of creating a more scientifically grounded approach to art.

This work is celebrated for its technical precision and its ability to convey the tranquil beauty of the Mediterranean coast. It stands as a testament to Cross's skill as a colorist and his contribution to the development of modern art. "The Mediterranean, East Wind" remains an important piece within Cross's oeuvre and continues to be admired for its innovative use of color and light.
