About The Eiffel Tower Georges Seurat
If you think that Georges Seurat painted the main French landmark and the most visited tourist site here, you are greatly mistaken. In 1889, the artist set to paint the most controversial and scandalous engineering structure that was erected in the heart of Paris just the year of the opening of the World Exhibition. This was the construction, against which almost all famous writers and artists opposed. They tried to convince the municipality that an act of vandalism was taking place in the center of the city and this huge, ugly, completely useless factory chimney would distort the architecture of Paris and destroy the view from any window. Remember the textbook anecdote that Guy de Maupassant dined every day in a cafe on the first level of the tower. When asked why, he answered: "This is the only place in Paris from which you cannot see it."
