    Absolutely incredible that this guy followed up on this idea and made such an amazing painting. I've always liked the painting but never knew how much planning and meticulous effort went into it. Its like a painting with camera noise.

    People speak about the predictions of Nostradamus, yet the way Seurat painted is they way a modern CRT or LCD screen projects its' image. Very tiny dots of red, green and blue are varied in intensity to display all the colors you see. Now that is a solid proof of a prediction of how we would see the majority of our images 100 years in the future. ;-)

    I saw this painting live in Chicago a few days ago and it made all my trip (over 1000$) worth it.

    I would not like to live in that era but for sure i love the painters of that era. What a beauty. It is just as fresh today.

    The Museum also displays the studies (minis - 12 inches max) which make it even more interesting....

    Seurat consulted the impressionist Master Pissarro.
    Seurat revised his painting after speaking with Pissarro.
    However Pissarro too was influenced by Seurat. In art info ended almost always goes both ways.

    Well, now I have to watch Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park with George."

      It’s one of my favorite musicals! If you want to make a deep dive into Sondheim (which is well worth it for anyone who loves theatre, lyric writing, etc.), check out the two volume “Hat Box,” which contains both “Finishing the Hat” and “Look I Made a Hat”-titles taken from lyrics from “Sunday In the Park.”

    I am reproducing this painting in counted cross stitch at the moment. I am trying to make it look more like the painting than the person who created the chart ever bothered to. Thank you for this video!

      Totally awesome to re-use a detestable phrase. You are right, fantastic is the word.

    I'm still looking for an explanation why the man in the lower left with the top hat and cane is completely out of proportion and scale. It has been suggested that these appear correct if one casts an extreme sideways view -but does this apply at the same time to all the other features of the painting? And this little visual trick is completely incongruous with other aspects of the image. In another vein, I wonder what old [or not-so-old: he died at 32 years of age] would've thought of the narrators' breathy, over the top effort to ennoble him.

    For this Google Art Project playlist, I would recommend placing a link in the description for each video to the "Artwork" page in the Google Art Project.

    a tree comes out of a mans black hat, the trees shadow is missing, the trumpet is facing the wrong way, mans hand holding scarf is the wrong way, shadows are missing or going the wrong way, and there may be more but check these ones out.

    Nobody mentions that the guy lying down smoking his pipe looks like a time traveller.. He's got a modern type hat on aswell as a modern singlet...

    I just can't like this painting, it's almost like a Lowry with stiff doll like people the woman with the big bustle seems to dominate it
