Painted around 1889, The Eiffel Tower (La tour Eiffel) is one of the earliest artistic depictions of Paris’s most famous landmark, created while the tower was still being constructed for the 1889 Exposition Universelle. Notably, Seurat painted the top of the tower dissolving into the clouds before the structure was even completed in March 1889. Using fine, delicate Pointillist dabs of orange, blue, and yellow-green pigments, Seurat framed the orange lattice ironwork within a custom painted border, capturing the modern marvel with poetic atmospheric lightness rather than rigid industrial weight.
