Bathers at Asnières 1884

"Bathers at Asnières" (1884), by Georges Seurat, is an oil painting depicting a group of bathers on the banks of the Seine River in Asnières. Seurat, a leading figure in the Post-Impressionist movement, employed the technique of pointillism, which involved applying small dots of pure color to create the illusion of light and shade. The painting's composition is characterized by its geometric structure and the use of contrasting colors, a hallmark of Seurat's style. The artwork is currently held at the National Gallery, London, showcasing the artist's pioneering approach to form and color.
