Sunday Afternoon

“Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” originally ridiculed, became the most famous work of Georges Seurat (1859 – 1891), defining him as an extraordinary artist and scientist. Seurat pioneered neo-Impressionism, using complex, scientifically based lines and geometry which gave his works order and unity. Innovating Pointillism, a meticulous style incorporating tiny points of pure color, “La Grande Jatte” contained over 40 figures, a detailed background, and took Seurat nearly two years to finish.

This finely crafted wall tapestry is made in the USA by skilled artisans, using Jacquard looms and pure cotton yarn. An iron rod and finial are included, in addition to brackets and hardware for easy hanging.
