The Circus (Seurat painting)
''The Circus'' (French: ''Le Cirque'') is an oil on canvas painting by Georges Seurat. It was his last painting, made in a Neo-Impressionist style in 1890-91, and remained unfinished at his death in March 1891. The painting is located at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
==Background==
The painting was Seurat's third major work treating the theme of the circus, after his ''Parade'' (or ''Circus sideshow'') of 1887-88 and ''Le Chahut'' of 1889-90. It depicts a female performer standing on a horse at the Circus Fernando (renamed the Circus Médrano in 1890, after its most famous clown). The Circus Médrano was located at the corner of the Rue des Martyrs and the Boulevard de Rochechouart, close to Seurat's studio. It was a popular entertainment in Paris, depicted in the 1880s by other artists such as Renoir (for example, '' Acrobats at the Cirque Fernando (Francisca and Angelina Wartenberg)''), Degas (for example, ''Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando'') and Toulouse-Lautrec (for example, ''Equestrienne (At the Circus Fernando)'').
Seurat makes use of Charles Henry's theories on the emotional and symbolic meaning of lines and colours, and the works of Chevreul and Ogden Rood on complementary colours. He was also influenced by Japanese prints, and the graphic works of Jules Chéret. The work is similar to chromolithograph ''Au cirque'' by Karl Gampenrieder, but it is not clear if Seurat had seen it.
