Georges Seurat, View of the Seine (1882\u201383)<\/h2>\n

The river in View of the Seine<\/strong> is not a beauty spot. A barge sits at the bank, two figures work in it, and behind them are houses and a chimney. Seurat made this small painting<\/strong> on wood in 1882\u201383; the original is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, accession 59.16.5.<\/p>\n

A working river<\/h3>\n

The suburban Seine \u2013 barges, banks, industry at the edge of Paris \u2013 is a subject Seurat kept returning to. Here it is stated plainly, without incident, which is what makes it feel modern.<\/p>\n

Painted on a panel<\/h3>\n

Oil on wood, 24.8 \u00d7 15.9 cm. Panels this size are called croquetons: Seurat carried them outdoors and painted directly in front of the motif, so the marks are quick and decided.<\/p>\n

The original<\/h3>\n

Oil on wood, 24.8 \u00d7 15.9 cm, painted 1882\u201383. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Bequest of Mabel Choate, in memory of her father Joseph Hodges Choate; accession 59.16.5.<\/p>\n

How yours is made<\/h3>\n

Every canvas we supply is a hand-painted<\/strong> oil painting, not a print. A painter works it stroke by stroke at the size you choose, so no two orders are ever identical.<\/p>\n

An early Seurat, some years before the dots, and a clear look at how he worked outdoors.<\/p>\n
