Georges Seurat, The Channel at Gravelines, Evening (1890)<\/h2>\n

The Channel at Gravelines, Evening<\/strong> comes from Seurat\u2019s last summer. He painted it in 1890 at Gravelines on the northern French coast, months before his death. An empty channel, an anchor on the sand, a lamp post, and a sky going pale into dusk. This painting<\/strong> is in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, accession 785.1963.a-b.<\/p>\n

The last summer<\/h3>\n

Gravelines was Seurat\u2019s final coastal subject. The four canvases of this channel are his last series; he died in March 1891, aged thirty-one.<\/p>\n

The ownership history, stated openly<\/h3>\n

This canvas was confiscated from Paul Rosenberg in Paris by the ERR in 1941 during the German occupation, traded in 1942 through Goering\u2019s agent, gathered at Bern after the war and returned to Rosenberg in 1948. MoMA publishes that history in full, and we repeat it here because it should be known.<\/p>\n

The original<\/h3>\n

Oil on canvas, 81.9 \u00d7 65.4 cm, painted 1890. The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Gift of Mr. and Mrs. William A. M. Burden; accession 785.1963.a-b.<\/p>\n
