It’s Sunday…so, who’s up for a picnic?

In the mid-1880s, Seurat made frequent trips to the Isle de la Grande on the Seine. Not far from Paris, the island is a very popular destination among swimmers, Sunday walkers and picnickers. It also attracted artists like Seurat, who found modern Parisians enjoying leisure time a fascinating theme in their art. Seurat painted his famous “Sunday Afternoon at the Big Bowl” based on the extensive sketches and oil sketches he made there. ” The Picnic “, depicting three children enjoying an outdoor lunch, was probably one of Seurat’s oil sketches with the Big Bowl Island as the theme. However, the combination of characters from “The Picnic” did not appear in the final version of Seurat’s masterpiece.
