Georges Seurat  was a French painter who revolutionized modern art with his invention of Pointillism, a technique that used countless tiny dots of pure color to create luminous and harmonious images inspired by scientific theories of optics; trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, he sought a balance between sensitivity and logic, producing masterpieces such as Bathers at Asnières (1884) and his iconic A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886), which became the cornerstone of Neo‑Impressionism.
