I chose the painting A Sunday on La Grande
Jatte. It is one of the most famous paintings done by Gorges
Seurat. The painting was started in 1884
and completed in 1886. The medium is oil
on canvas and the size of the canvas is 81 ¾ inches by 121 ¼ inches. It is located at the Art Institute of Chicago. The painting was done using a technique
called pointillism. I really like this
painting because it was done in a style completely new for its time period. I also appreciate the amount of time it took
to complete a painting of this size with only small dots. I think he does a good job at portraying
perspective as well.
