Asnières is an industrial suburb west of Paris on the River Seine. Bathers at Asnières shows a group of young workmen taking their leisure by the river. Bathers at Asnières was the first of Seurat's large-scale compositions. He drew conté crayon studies for individual figures using live models, & made small oil sketches on site which he used to help design the composition & record effects of light & atmosphere. Some 14 oil sketches & 10 drawings survive. The final composition, painted in the studio, combines information from both. While the painting was not executed using Seurat's pointillist technique, which he had not yet invented, the artist later reworked areas of this picture using dots of contrasting colour to create a vibrant, luminous effect. For example, dots of orange & blue were added to the boy's hat. The simplicity of the forms & the use of regular shapes clearly defined by light recalls paintings by the Renaissance artist Piero della Francesca. In his use of figures seen in profile, Seurat may also have been influenced by ancient Egyptian art. ...

Traditionally called 'A Squall from the West', this painting probably shows the beach at Trouville. This sketch was presumably painted on the spot on 7 April, perhaps in the 1890s. The bleak mood of this empty beach is in contrast to the crowded beach sce ...

This painting is one of the two panels in the Collection that may have belonged to Monet (see also, ' Beach scene, Trouville', 1870-4). Characteristic of Boudin's approach is the delicate fragmentation of the handling, which invests the scene with a sense of atmospheric freshness. This work records a bright but cloudy day with a group of fashionably dressed visitors gathered around a flagpole on the sandy beach. Between the misty blue of the sky & the brown tones of the s&, an emphatic white dress is visible in the centre, with touches of bright red & blue among the figures to each side. The seated figures to the left suggest comparison with Monet's painting of 1870, ' The Beach at Trouville', which probably shows Boudin's wife to the right, seated beside Mme Monet. ...
