Annunciation Museum
Musée de l'Annonciade
The Annonciade Museum reminds us that the village of Saint-Tropez has been one of the most active centre of "avant-garde" painting at the beginning of the XXth Century, thanks to Paul Signac who, on board his ship l'Olympia, discovered this little fishing harbour in 1892. He fell under the spell of the place, bought a house, la Hune, which he turned into his studio and invited many other painters to join him: Cross, Matisse, Derain, Marquet.
The collection on show, ranges from 1890 to 1950 and is both of surprisingly high standard and homogeneity.
The artists displayed have based their work upon the study of colour as well as shape, the whole collection is composed of top range pictures, essentially belonging to the pointillist, Nabis and Fauvist movements.
