Sunday Afternoon Seurat is a really important oil painting that is truly worth studying in detail when you get the chance!! Pointilism is an exciting technique, as practised by Van Gogh, and Georges Seurat is a master of it. A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is probably his best example of this technique, thanks to it’s use of colour, lighting and the accuracy with which he depicted the island’s various characters.

Eugene Delacroix is a great artist, with details of his works available here. After the French Revolution of 1848 that saw the end of the reign of King Louis Philippe, Delacroix’s painting, Liberty Leading the People, was finally put on display by the newly elected President, Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III.) Today, it is visible in the Louvre museum.
Delacroix spent some time travelling around the UK in the early 19th century in an attempt to further his knowledge, experience and ideas. Delacroix’s paintings such as The Combat of the Giaour and Hassan and Woman with Parrot shows violence and sensuality in his paintings for the first time, which was later to become much more common. It was here that Shakespeare became the topic for Delacroix as well.

You can find Degas paintings here. Degas’ series of paintings of dancers were memorable for their imaginative viewpoints and angles, plus the ways in which he would differentiate the lives of men and women of the time in each of these works.
