About Georges Seurat (1859-1891)

Georges Seurat was a French Post-Impressionist painter. Born in 1859, he is best known for his innovative techniques and his pioneering use of the scientific method in the creation of art. Seurat is considered one of the leading figures of the Pointillist movement, which sought to capture the effects of light and color in a scene. He was known for his precise, scientific approach to painting, and his works often convey a sense of harmony and balance.

Over time, Seurat's innovative techniques and imaginative depictions of modern life earned him a place as one of the greatest painters of all time. Today, Seurat's works can be found in major museums around the world, and he remains one of the most famous and beloved artists of all time.
