Seurat paintings
Georges Seurat is a French painter, one of the representatives and creators of neo-impressionism. He was born in the second half of the 19th century in Paris, where he died after only 32 years. He lived a short, but extremely creative life. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and was interested in color theory. A large part of Seurat's works were created using the technique of pointillism, i.e. dotting, which he invented and developed. Seurat, and later also van Gogh and Gauguin, painted by placing colorful dots densely next to each other on the canvas, which, when admired from a distance, merged into a clear image. Paintings painted with this technique became the most famous works of the era, including a painting entitled Sunday Afternoon on the Island of Grande Jatte.
