Georges-Pierre Seurat was a post-impressionist I will analyse his painting “ Sunday Afternoon” I will also analyse Claude Lorraines work “Seaport with the Embarkation of St. Ursula” he’s style is classical.
Firstly I will analyse “Sunday afternoon”. The colours in the painting are simple and bright, the artist does not blend colours instead he dots pure colours and lets the eyes blend them. This takes a long time to do and a lot of patience, but it eliminates the grey colour you get by over mixing. The mood is quite bright, it captures the emotions you get on a weekend relaxing at a park, but you can see the artist has not given emotion to the people they act more like objects in the scene. I think it reflects a time where the weekends were a time to relax unlike nowadays were people prefer movie theatres and shopping centres over the parks. Pierre painted his artwork to prove his theory that the eyes blended colour they saw. His work very unlike that of Claude Lorraine “Seaport with the Embarkation of St. Ursula” who has a classical approach painting to capture a time, were else Seurats painting reflects his theory that he wanted to prove. The only similarities are the sea and the boats.
Claude Lorraine work Lorraine “Seaport with the Embarkation of St. Ursula” has a realistic colour palette. The buildings have a red tinge which conflicts with the blue sea. He used oil to paint and like most of his paintings used technique to portray the glow of light. Back when this was painting religion was extremely significant his painting reflects a story about a girl who goes to a place were the Huns had taken over. The leader takes and interest to her and when asked to be his wife she refuses and is then slaughtered by him.
Both these artist chose a calm setting with a element of boats and water but their painting differ in style. Surat’s painting is made by using many dots a colour, he focuses on shape and colour. Where else Lorraine’s work focuses
