"Bathers at Asnières" by Seurat, reimagined. It is the first of his large-scale paintings, which Seurat unsuccessfully attempted to exhibit at the Paris Salon, and refused to exhibit as an alternative at the Salon des Indépendants. With this work, he probably attempted to put into practice, 40 years later, the poet Baudelaire's exhortation to represent the “heroic” aspects of life in Paris: “Life in Paris is full of poetic and marvelous subjects: the marvelous embraces and bathes in the atmosphere that surrounds it.” https://rodeo.club/post/7414749883607461888
