In The Rocket (painting), how is the Painting discussed?
As an artist,  Manigault was considered by art historians to have developed a highly personal and original artistic style. Disconnected patches of luminous golden, red and orange colors overflow the canvas, creating the effect of the light of the fireworks showering down over the river; the river in turn acts as a mirror, reflecting the display above. The artist used glowing  colors to create a vivid depiction, applying the post-impressionist techniques that he had learnt in the early years of his career.These post-impressionist techniques had been developed and used during the last years of the 19th century by, among others, artists like Van Gogh and Gauguin, and the pointillist painters Seurat and Signac. The first two artists used bold, vibrant intense colors, while Seurat's pointillism consisted of creating the image by means of colored dots.
