Georges Seurat was a French painter born in 1859 who is best known for inventing the pointillism technique of painting. Pointillism uses small dots or touches of different colors that are blended by the eye of the observer. Seurat's most famous painting, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, took him two years to complete using this technique and measures 6'10" x 10'1" in size.
