French, 1859–1891
Georges Seurat (1859–1891) was a French post-Impressionist painter who developed the techniques of chromoluminarism and pointillism. He was born in Paris and studied at local art schools, including the École des Beaux-Arts. Seurat’s approach combined sensitivity with a logical, precise method, and his work played a key role in the emergence of Neo-Impressionism. His large-scale paintings, such as one depicting leisure on the banks of the Seine, influenced the direction of modern art in the late 19th century.
