Georges Seurat (1859-1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter who is best known for pioneering the technique of Pointillism.

Born in 1859, Seurat was interested in color theory and used his meticulous method of painting with tiny dots of color to create images that appeared cohesive from a distance. His works often depicted tranquil scenes of Parisian life, seascapes, and leisurely moments in parks.
