With his innovative technique of placing small dots of color next to each other, he created artworks of exceptional depth. His most famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, is considered a milestone of modern painting and showcases his masterful use of light, color, and composition. Seurat’s analytical approach to painting made him a pioneer of Neo-Impressionism and influenced numerous artists who followed.
