Seine at the Grande-Jatte

The painting presents a scene in a pointillist style, which is characterized by small, distinct dots of colour that optically blend to create the overall image. We see a river with a bluish water surface, on which a white sailboat and a person in a boat are floating. In the background, the shore with buildings and trees can be seen, while in the foreground a larger tree with green leaves can be seen.

Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859-1891). French Postimpressionist - a pioneer of pointillism who changed the direction of modern art. Sunday Afternoon is one of his most famous and recognized works. His first larger painting was the Bath at Asnieres, which was rejected by the Salon. Seurat therefore decided to become an independent artist. He was interested in colour theory and optics and believed that, through colour, he could bring harmony and emotion to his paintings (just as musicians do).
