*A brief description of the work, in-game*
Perhaps Georges Seurat's best known painting, it was certainly his largest painting measuring in at 207.5 x 308.1 centimeters. The painting depicted people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River called La Grande Jatte. Seurat began this work in 1884 and worked on it for many years in several campaigns. In 1889 he made the final change, adding the recognizable border of red, orange, and blue dots as a visual transition between the main portion of his painting and the white frame.

Seurat's highly systematic painting technique of tightly grouping together dots of paint became known as Pointillism. This technique distinguished his work amongst the Impressionists who favored a more intuitive approach. Seurat embraced modern subjects like Monet and Renoir but he added artistic references to Egyptian and Greek art, as well as Italian Renaissance works. According to the Art Institute of Chicago, some critics regard this as more a commentary on the artificiality of Parisian society than a nod to art history.

This is a recolor of a base-game painting and, as such, is base game compatible and is low-poly. The painting has been distorted somewhat as it is very difficult to locate a painting in the catalog with the exact dimensions necessary to keep the scaling appropriate.
