A Sunday on La Grande Jatte
The artist
Georges Seurat, a French painter who invented a careful new way of painting with tiny dots.
What you see
People relaxing in a park by the river on a sunny Sunday, standing and sitting in the shade.
The story
Seurat worked on this huge painting from 1884 to 1886, making many small studies first.
The style
He painted thousands of tiny colored dots that blend together in your eyes; this is called Pointillism.
Look closer
Look closely and you can find a little monkey on a leash near the woman with the parasol.
Where to see it
This very large painting lives at the Art Institute of Chicago in the United States.
Fun fact
The painting is so wide that grown-ups have to step back to see all the little dots turn into people.
