Circus Sideshow ☲ Seurat ☳ Art Print beach and the dramatic composition againstCircus Sideshow (1888, Parade de cirque) by Georges Seurat is his first nocturnal painting and the first to depict popular entertainment. Traveling circuses made seasonal appearances in Paris, where free sideshows were staged outside the circus tent to sell tickets. This painting represents the parade, or sideshow, of the Circus Corvi at the annual Gingerbread Fair in spring 1887, at Place de la Nation.
