The Big Bowl Island in the picture is an island park in Oniè re, near Paris. Every weekend, many people come here to rest and play, and Seurat often comes here to look for inspiration. One day, he was inspired and decided to create this "Sunday afternoon on the Big Bowl Island".

In order to complete this work, Seurat painted more than 30 exercises and color drafts, which took two years to draw. Every morning, he would go to the beach to observe the tourists, and then he would go home in the afternoon to draw these figures.

Artistic features of works

The figures on the screen and the surrounding lakes and trees form a precise and harmonious composition, which makes the proportion of objects on the screen, the size of objects and the whole screen, and the balance between vertical lines and parallel lines reach a rational harmony and unity under the scientific order.

For example, a tall couple standing in the shadow nearby is in a horizontal line with a mother and daughter holding an umbrella in the sun and a man painting in the distance, and the exquisite perspective method makes them look harmonious and scientific in proportion, and makes people feel lively, interesting and full of vitality.

The figures in the painting are not very clear. Obviously, this is not what the painter is most concerned about. What the painter deliberately pursues is to place many figures in precise geometric figures, so that the fixed figures in the painting can form a wonderful and particularly orderly harmony under the irradiation of light.

If you watch carefully, you will feel that the characters in the painting have formed a dignified beyond time and space in their respective positions, as if they must stick to their own positions and cannot break some tacit understanding, which makes people feel a rational and irresistible order.
