As early as 1888, Guy de Maupassant evoked Saint-Tropez, which he described as the daughter of the sea in his work Sur l'Eau, but it was the painters of the early 20th century who engraved the name of the village in the history of art. In 1892, the Pointillist painter Paul Signac landed there aboard his ship, the Olympia, and settled in the village, making Saint-Tropez a place of development of new modern painting. His house became a rallying point and a place of accommodation for painters of all tendencies. Henri Matisse stayed in Saint-Tropez in 1904, then the Fauvists Albert Marquet and Charles Camoin but also Henri Manguin, Henri Lebasque, Pierre Bonnard, Moïse Kisling, or André Dunoyer de Segonzac found inspiration in the city.
