Georges Seurat, Study for La Grande Jatte: right, middle distance (1886)<\/h2>\n

This is a study<\/strong> on wood for the large canvas A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, which hangs in the Art Institute of Chicago and which this shelf also carries. The painting<\/strong> here treats only the right-hand middle distance: a group of figures in shade with grass behind them. The original is in the Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay, Paris, inventory number RF 2828.<\/p>\n

A study, not the finished canvas<\/h3>\n

This is a preparatory panel, not a small version of the completed work. The Chicago canvas is over two metres wide; this panel is 25 \u00d7 16 cm.<\/p>\n

What Seurat was testing<\/h3>\n

On a surface this small he was working out the balance between lit grass and the shade under the trees \u2013 an arrangement he then carried into the large composition.<\/p>\n

The original<\/h3>\n

Oil on wood, 25 \u00d7 16 cm, painted 1886. Mus\u00e9e d\u2019Orsay, Paris; inventory number RF 2828.<\/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.<\/p>\n

A working panel for one of the best-known paintings of the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n
