Georges Seurat was a French painter born on December 2, 1859, in Paris. He is best known for his pioneering work in the technique of pointillism, in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Seurat's most famous work is the monumental painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," which took him two years to complete. He died prematurely at the age of 31, leaving behind a small but influential body of work that had a significant impact on the development of modern art. His legacy continues to inspire artists and art enthusiasts around the world.
