Focus on Seine (Van Gogh series) and discuss the Paintings.
Longing for tranquil settings, van Gogh began to paint beyond the city fortifications and along the banks of the Seine, in Asnières and the island of Grand Jatte.  He experimented with a lighter, more colorful palette than used in his early Dutch paintings or Montmartre series.
