And now we move to Paris, specifically to a place called Asnières-sur-Seine (don't ask me to pronounce that, even though as we all know mah Fraaahnch eez parrrfaict!), which on the left bank of the River Seine, in the north-western suburbs of Paris and about eight kilometres from the centre of Paree. Although in reality the location of this painting is believed to be in the commune to the west of there, closer to 4 miles from Paris.

It was here that the disturbingly short-lived Georges Seurat chose to set one of his two famous large canvas works. It was painted in 1884 when the artist was 24 (he would go on to die at the age of only 31), and was of course painted in his signature style which became known as Pointillism. This technique essentially creates images from dots of colour, and spins out from the earlier French impressionism. It's a curious picture which depicts a scene of leisure, and yet the central figure seems quite rigid. He's done an outstanding job creating the colours and textures, though.

So why have I shot these photos on an angle? Because I didn't know how it would be received if I pulled out the E-M1 even with a smallish wide-angle lens, so I stuck to using my tablet. There is a limit to how wide an angle you can get with a tablet, so I had to improvise the framing.
