A Fisherman c. 1884

"A Fisherman" is an oil painting on canvas created by Georges Seurat in 1884. The work depicts a lone fisherman standing in a small boat on a river. The water is depicted with the characteristic pointillist technique, with small dots of color applied to the canvas. This technique, developed by Seurat, creates an optical effect that makes the colors vibrate. The painting is a testament to Seurat's exploration of the scientific principles of color and light in his art, making it a pivotal work in the development of Neo-Impressionism.
