A breathtaking moment of art and legacy: Charlotte Cachant, the great-granddaughter of Paul Signac, is reunited with Saint-Georges, Couchant (Venise) — a luminous work created during Signac’s first trip to Venice. Tying together his passion for sailing and his pioneering artistic vision, this vibrant canvas captures a pivotal moment in his career and in the story of Post-Impressionism. Find out the extraordinary story behind this painting's journey, and how one family's history continues to echo through the art world today.
After decades in a private collection, Saint-Georges, Couchant (Venise) makes its return to public view at Sotheby’s New York this spring, as a highlight of the Modern Evening Auction, presented in partnership with Celine, held live on 13 May at 7:00 PM EST.
