About this work

Artist: Georges Seurat (1859–1891)
Year: 1884–1886
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 207.6 × 308 cm
Collection: Art Institute of Chicago
Movement: Post-Impressionism

Parisians of every class take the air on an island in the Seine on a Sunday afternoon: a woman with a parasol and a monkey on a leash, a man in a top hat, soldiers, a girl in white, rowers and a trumpeter, all frozen in profile or full face like figures on a frieze. Seurat worked on the enormous canvas for two years, from 1884 to 1886, making dozens of oil studies on site and then building the picture in his studio from tiny dots and dashes of pure colour meant to blend in the eye, the technique later called Pointillism. He showed it at the last Impressionist exhibition in 1886, where it divided opinion and launched Neo-Impressionism. He added a painted border of dots in 1889. The painting has been in the Art Institute of Chicago since 1926.

This exhibition-poster edition shows the whole work beneath original typography set in-house. The original is in the public domain.

Where it works

A wide, frieze-like Sunday in dots of pure colour that holds a long wall: over a sofa or dining sideboard at 24×36. Natural wood on white or soft green keeps the colour clear; it is calm and takes a central place without shouting.

Size. We'd hang this one at 24×36. Prints at 12×18, 16×24, 24×36 in — 12×18 for a shelf, desk or a gallery-wall grid; 16×24 above a desk, console or in a hallway; 24×36 as the statement piece above a sofa or bed.

Framing. Exhibition posters sit best in a slim black frame with no mat — the typeset margin is the mat.

Pairing. Pairs as a set of three with other famous painting prints (10% off three or more).

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The exhibition-poster edition sets the complete image above typography designed in-house.

Is A Sunday on La Grande Jatte in the public domain?

Yes. Georges Seurat (1859–1891) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Art Institute of Chicago.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; every size is also offered framed in black or natural wood, with plexiglass and no mat. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was A Sunday on La Grande Jatte painted, and in what medium?

A Sunday on La Grande Jatte dates from 1884–1886 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 207.6 × 308 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

Across a three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 is the size that reads as one statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pair. For A Sunday on La Grande Jatte we'd choose 24×36.
