The Forest at Pontaubert. Artist: Georges Seurat (French, Paris 1859-1891 Paris). Dimensions: 31 1/8 x 24 5/8 in. (79.1 x 62.5 cm). Date: 1881.Seurat spent two months in the late summer and early fall of 1881 in Pontaubert, a village southeast of Paris once frequented by Daubigny, Corot, and other Barbizon landscape painters. His visit inspired this sous-bois or forest glade, which Seurat probably completed that winter in the studio he shared with his traveling companion and fellow artist Aman-Jean. With its concert of greens, its subtle, shimmering light effects, and its vertical pattern of tree trunks, this work anticipates the verdant settings of Seurat's monumental Bathers at Asnires in London (1884) and A Sunday on La Grande Jatte in Chicago (1884-86). Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: GEORGES SEURAT.
