During which years was The Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte painted?

• A. 1884-1886
• B. 1900-1902
• C. 1640-1642
• D. 1810-1812

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of when La Grande Jatte was created. Georges Seurat was developing his Pointillist method in the mid-1880s, and this major work comes from that period. He began the painting in 1884 and completed it around 1886, capturing a scene of leisurely city life on the Île de la Grande Jatte near Paris. The other date ranges fit different centuries or artistic movements and don’t align with Seurat’s career or this work.
