Description
More about Sunday Afternoon on the Grande Jatte
The painting was of the island of la Grande Jatte, in the Seine. At the time it was a quiet retreat from urban life.
Georges Seurat spent two years working on this painting, and finally exhibited it in 1886. As a result he became regarded as the leader of a new art movement, Neo-Impressionism.
Seurat, 1859-1891, was a serious, dedicated artist who wanted to make an impact on the world of art. By being the catalyst for Neo-Impressionism through Sunday Grande Afternoon on the Grande Jatte, he achieved that goal.
