In a style much different than Renoir's, Georges Seurat painted "A Sundy on La Grande Jatte" in 1884.
The scene shows people relaxing in a suburban park on an island in the Seine River. Seurant used small, horizontal brush strokes and later added small dots, in complementary colors. The dots appear solid from a distance. Seurant's method was quite scientific for its time.
Many argued that his style reflected the static posturing of the modern Parisian society.
