A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by Georges Seurat

Perhaps the most famous example of Pointilism is this masterpiece by Georges Seurat. Seurat preferred the term Divisionism to Pointilism. Both terms are descriptive to the technique, where the artist uses separate dots of color to form a complete picture. Said effect becomes even more impressive in this painting when realizing it is huge, measuring more than 2 by 3 meters.
