A Sunday on La Grande Jatte vs The Last Supper

Georges Seurat and Leonardo da Vinci's paintings are similar in a way. They both a mass of people on their paintings. However, one is outdoor and one is indoor, they have the same concept. In both paintings, they are eating and chilling. In Georges's A Sunday on La Grande Jatte the people are on shore relaxing in the shade next to the water. It is a Sunday and some are having a picnic with friends and family. In Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper they are having a meal with Christ's friends or family after his restoration. In both paintings the people in the paintings do not have expressions. Georges Seurat's painting A Sunday on La Grande Jatte eye view is the couple on the right. The viewers tend to look at them and pick them as the eye view because they are draw the biggest. It is usually the middle like Leonardo da Vinci's painting The Last Supper the eye view is Christ which is the middle and every seems to talk about him. However, everyone in the painting is very important because they are in detail, but not like the eye's view. These paintings are very famous paintings and I like both paintings. I like both paintings because they both are very large paintings, not only that it is very detailed. However, just by looking at the paintings you can tell which one is older because of the brightness of the color.
