Perhaps the piece he is most famous for, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat is one of the most celebrated examples of the pointillism technique. Composed of millions of tiny dots of paint, the painting depicts a small crowd of Parisians enjoying an afternoon on the scenic riverbank. Seurat painted this piece between 1884 and 1885 and focused on capturing light and shadow effects with the dotting technique.
