Seurat
and the Making of La Grande Jatte
You already know
how much I love the artist Georges Seurat! Luckily, I found a Web
site dedicated to the making of Seurat’s famous painting: A
Sunday on La Grande Jatte.
You’ll find
navigation on the side menu. The
menu is pretty much a jump menu. For example, you can click on a link
and it will jump you down to that section. As you read the section,
you’ll notice green links interspersed throughout the text as
well.
If you click on
those links, a window will pop up with more information on that topic,
along with an image as well.
I was quite impressed
with how thorough the information is for a painting that is over 100
years old! I adored the link to the image Le Bec Du Hoc.
I just want to go and stand at the top of it and look down at the
ocean.
You can also go
to the Selected Works section to see all of the images together as
thumbnails. When you click on a thumbnail, you’ll get the same
information that the links provide.
I hope you enjoy
this further look into Seurat’s painting. I know I did!
