Sunday Afternoon ☷ Seurat ☵ Canvas

A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1886) by Georges Seurat is his most famous painting, and a major example of pointillism. The painting depicts Parisians at a park on the banks of the River Seine. Some of the character details include a woman with a pet monkey on a leash, and in the painting's center, a little girl dressed in white stares out of the canvas. The painting was the basis for the 1984 Broadway musical Sunday in the Park with George by Stephen Sondheim, a fictional story of the painting's creation where it is referred to as "Sunday in the Park." It was featured in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller's Day Off by John Hughes. Ferris, Sloane and Cameron view the painting at the Art Institute of Chicago. It also appears in Seurat's later work Models.

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
