Georges Seurat (December 2, 1859 - March 29, 1891) was a French painter and draftsman best known for developing the technique of pointillism, a method of applying small dots of color to create images. Notable works include "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," "Models," and "The Circus." Seurat's artistic style is characterized by its scientific approach to color and light, emphasizing the optical effects of color interactions.
