Seurat: La Grande Jatte

'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte' was painted by Georges Seurat between 1884 and 1886.

It's become a leading example of pointillist technique, and, executed on a large canvas, it was a founding work of the Neo-Impressionist movement -  and certainly his most iconic work.

It's good to know that because you will undoubtedly be asked what that wonderful scarf you're wearing is, and, to be honest, it feels good to say 'Oh, this old thing. It's just an iconic pointillist painting of a Sunday afternoon in Paris.' Or perhaps that's just us!

The image frame is Liberty Glass Flurorite, and the image has been made available by the Art Institute of Chicago.

It is exclusive to this website, and has never been offered elsewhere, although it belongs alongside the Liberty Art of the Scarf collection.

The price reflects prestige of the image and scarf, and also the huge amount of research, rights negotiations, image testing on silk, and the licensing fees paid for some of the images. Still, £100 off the Liberty price is quite a saving.
