"Portrait of André Gide" is a painting by the Belgian neo-impressionist painter Théo van Rysselberghe. Created in 1901, this artwork is a notable example of the pointillist technique, which van Rysselberghe had mastered under the influence of Georges Seurat. The portrait features the French writer André Gide, who was a leading figure in French literature and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1947. Gide was known for his comprehensive and probing explorations of morality and his influence on the genre of the modern French novel.

The painting is a testament to the relationship between the artist and the literary world of the time, as van Rysselberghe was closely associated with the literary group "La Libre Esthétique" in Brussels, which promoted avant-garde art and literature. In the portrait, Gide is depicted with a contemplative expression, seated against a background that exemplifies the divisionist approach to color and light, characteristic of pointillism. The use of small, distinct dots of color applied in patterns to form an image was a hallmark of this movement, and van Rysselberghe was one of its most committed practitioners.

"Portrait of André Gide" is not only a significant work in van Rysselberghe's oeuvre but also an important piece in the history of European modernist painting. It reflects the artist's skill in capturing the psychological depth of his subjects while adhering to the aesthetic principles of neo-impressionism. The painting is held in a private collection, and its exhibition history includes various retrospectives of van Rysselberghe's work, contributing to the understanding of the artist's impact on the development of modern art.
