Georges Seurat: A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

Georges Seurat (French, 1859–1891) A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884, 1884–1886 Sunday in the shadows of the park, enigmatic and still. In A Sunday on La Grande Jatte—1884, Georges Seurat captured the Parisian bourgeoisie at leisure, complete with a monkey on a leash and a fashionable woman fishing the Seine. With formal structure and a decidedly motionless quality, his influential painting stepped away from Impressionism’s fleeting imagery and broke ground for Neo-Impressionism.
