A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte

Georges Seurat

c. 1884–1886

Painted between 1884 and 1886, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is Georges Seurat’s most famous work and a founding statement of Neo-Impressionism.

Built from countless individual points of colour, the painting reflects human progress. A newly sophisticated understanding of how human see the world around them: that perception is constructed by the eye and mind rather than directly received. It marks a moment when art began to contemplate not only what we see, but how seeing itself works.

Humans began to meaningfully engage the vast complexities of the world around them. The quest is ongoing to this day.
