EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for Georges Pierre Seurat's renowned masterpiece, "Bathers at AsniAres". Created between 1883 and 1884, this oil sketch on wood panel offers a glimpse into the artist's meticulous preparation process. The monumental painting depicts men leisurely bathing in the Seine near an industrial suburb of Paris. Seurat skillfully combines elements of Impressionism with his own unique style, known as Neo-Impressionism. Borrowing the brilliant colors of Impressionist painters, he expertly captures the play of outdoor light on the riverbank. However, what sets Seurat apart is his emphasis on basic geometric shapes and firm outlines to add structure to his composition. As one of the leaders in reforming Impressionism, Seurat's innovative approach revolutionized art during this period. This particular study exemplifies his mastery in capturing both naturalistic details and abstract forms simultaneously. The framed dimensions measure 32.00x41.00 cm while unframed it measures 15.70x24.90 cm. Currently housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this piece was bequeathed by Leonard C. Hanna Jr. , adding to its historical significance. Immerse yourself in this neo-impressionist marvel that beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time along the banks of the Seine River in France.
