Although beloved today, Georges Seurat’s Bathers at Asnières was rejected from the Paris exhibition to which it was first submitted. Painted in 1884 when the artist was only 24 years old, the monumental work was intended to make a statement. Meticulously planned, its detailed composition starkly contrasts with the spontaneity sought by Seurat’s Impressionist peers.
The leisurely scene of men relaxing on the bank of the Seine is suffused with hazy sunlight but evokes an eerie stillness. Each of the figures appears to exist in isolation. Alastair Sooke unpicks this intriguing artwork, which presents a picture of a society clearly divided by class, and explores how the painting preceded Seurat’s masterpiece A Sunday on La Grande Jatte – 1884 and his ascent to becoming a giant of modern art.
